People who don’t know, don’t know that they don’t know. Discussion of issues in the industry where we don’t have the research and information on what is being done about it. We all want to have our buildings perform and we need better ways of determining how to address issue of air leakage and water intrusion into the building envelope.
The course will cover the requirements for the 2019 Oregon Zero Energy Ready Commercial Code & 2019 Oregon Structural Specialty Code that apply to the building envelope. This session will explain how to interpret and apply these provisions in under varying site conditions, climate zones, and other design considerations.
This course takes a detailed look at the basic decision-making process for walls in the pre-design and early design stages.
In this presentation, Richard will share the design principles being developed for the ASTM Structural Use of Glass standard, how they were implemented on the Seattle Space Needle, and how these new standards will allow architects and engineers to achieve bolder designs with lower risks.
