The development of methods to predict and control moisture accumulation in building envelopes has always been a key element in building science.
Thermal bridging through building façades have been overlooked by designers and building energy codes and standards in the past, which has led to
Model building codes and standards in the United States use a probabilistic model to define glass load resistance (LR). In general, these model
With the advent of more sophisticated analysis methods and the desire to optimize geometries of structural silicone joints in high performance
Thermal discomfort can occur in perimeter zones due to radiant heat loss from the occupant to a poorly insulated exterior wall. It is valuable for
Ever-increasing performance requirements in the latest version of the energy codes are compelling project teams to consider the thermal performance of the building envelope more rigorously than ever before.
