The presentation emphasizes the central role of facade engineering in defining the overall aesthetics of the building envelope as well as optimizing its energy performance characteristics to deal with the environmental context, user needs, and other building systems to achieve maximum efficiency.

Topics highlights:

• Façade Performance Criteria: Qualitative and quantitative analysis role
• Integrated Facades: Design synergy between building’s envelope and all other systems
• Interface design, system selection, detailing and specifications: Bringing it all together!
