Unlocking Sustainable Design: Navigating Building Codes, Energy Efficiency, Thermal Resilience, and Rainscreen Assembly Strategies
Advancements in cladding support systems have led to improvements in both design and performance. The use of new materials and technologies have allowed for more efficient installation and maintenance of cladding systems.
Additionally, advances in cladding support systems have resulted in code forward thermal performance, increased building thermal resilience and reduced energy consumption and costs.
Learning Objectives
Define resilience and identify threats to our nation’s power grid and the effect buildings have on energy consumption.
