Selected High-Performance Building Envelopes

Hachem-Vermette, Caroline

This chapter presents selected high-performance building envelope systems, as key components in the design of solar buildings and communities. Building envelopes are divided into two main categories, low-rise (up to three floors) and multistory buildings. For the low-rise buildings, advanced, high energy performance, building envelope systems such as double-stud walls, structural insulated panels, and insulated concrete forms are presented. Multistory building envelope systems discussed in this chapter include double-skin facades and climate-adaptive facade systems, with special focus on intelligent envelope systems. The multifunctionality of facade systems in multistory buildings, as a key component in advanced high-performance envelope, is highlighted.
