About

Building envelopes are among the most critical systems in protecting your institution’s portfolio of building structures. With growing awareness of environmental effects, building construction methods, and material properties, thoughtful design is more important than ever. A well-layered building system not only extends the life of the structure but also creates a comfortable, habitable environment for its occupants.

There is both a science and an art to understanding differences in the construction and maintenance methods of these layering systems based on geography, temperature fluctuations, and limitations in construction methods and materials. These factors influence performance and require tailored approaches to ensure the long-term success of building envelope systems.

It is essential that Facility Managers and Building Owners understand and include strategies in their Capital Plans to evaluate, protect, and maintain these critical building envelope systems.

What You’ll Gain

  • Understanding environmental flow and control in building envelope systems
  • Fundamentals of effective building layering
  • Identifying system weak points and diagnostic tools
  • Advancements in construction methods and envelope materials—past and present
  • Key lessons in protecting your building envelope

Join us for the webinar “Building Envelope: The Science of Protecting Your Building’s Environment and the Art of Layering,” designed for facility managers and building owners. Discover practical strategies to evaluate, protect, and maintain building envelope systems—ensuring they perform effectively across climates, extend the life of your structures, and support long-term capital planning.
