AIA+2030 Online Series Course 4: Building Skin: The Importance of the Thermal Envelope


Description

A building’s envelope is the critical interface between occupant comfort and outdoor climatic conditions. High performance buildings require high performance envelopes that respond to exterior environmental impacts throughout the day and year. This course will explore design, material, and technological approaches to wall and window assemblies, from straightforward low-cost methods to advanced double skin facade applications.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify critical elements of the thermal envelope responsible for building energy consumption.
  • Specify strategies for minimizing thermal bridging.
  • Understand the architectural, material, and construction opportunities for designing a high performance thermal envelope.


In support of the AIA+2030 Commitment, the Hampton Roads Chapter of the AIA will be presenting the AIA+2030 Online Series. The series is made up of ten 1 hour video presentations to be followed by 30 minutes of moderated group discussion at the office of Hanbury, 120 Atlantic Street, Norfolk Va. The courses will be offered over a 4 month period. Attendees will receive 1.5 hours LU-HSW credits for each session.

The building sector is the single largest consumer of energy and producer of greenhouse gas emissions. The AIA 2030 Commitment provides an actionable framework for architects and designers to meet the 2030 Challenge goals of carbon neutral buildings by 2030. This series will inspire architects to meet the 2030 goals through design strategies, efficient technologies and systems, and renewable energy resources.

Anyone completing all courses in the AIA+2030 Online Series will receive a certificate acknowledging their completion of all courses in the program, in addition to the individual course certificates available upon completion of each course.

The AIA+2030 Online Series is an AIA and Architecture 2030 co-production, sponsored by Autodesk and delivered through AIAU.

It's based on the highly successful AIA+2030 Professional Series, which was created by AIA Seattle and Architecture 2030, with support from the City of Seattle and Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance.

Each session will be held from 4:00-5:30 with the last 30 minutes being a moderated discussion.
