Slide 7: Building Envelope Definition
BUILDING ENVELOPE DEFINITION Currently there is no ‘formal’ industry definition Companies are defining their own scope Most agree it is locations that separate the interior from the exterior
Slide 8: Expectations of the Building Envelope
EXPECTATIONS OF THE BUILDING ENVELOPE Keep water out Maintain a comfortable interior environment Energy efficient Maintain a low maintenance and operating cost Durable materials Minimal impact on environment
Slide 9: Building Envelope Control Layers
BUILDING ENVELOPE CONTROL LAYERS Water control layer Air control layer Vapor control layer Thermal control layer Design buildings to dry and to dry out
