Description
Recall sitting in your office shivering from cold drafts, or fanning yourself from the heat? Building envelope design is the cause. A building envelope is the structural barrier between the interior and exterior of a building. It is responsible for maintaining climate control within the interior of a building. Climate control refers to cooling and heating a building. The building envelope also keeps the interior free from moisture, sound, and light. The building envelope structure includes Roof, Walls, Foundation, Doors and Windows.The course covers following details1. Fenestration (U-Factor , SHGC , VLT, effective aperture) 2. Opaque Envelope ( calculations - U values for opaque construction) 3. Envelope material specifications Daylight Extent Factor & Useful Daylight Illuminance 4. Building Envelope SealingAbove mentioned subject matter covers following sub topics to understand Building Envelope DesignFenestration, SHGC, U Factor, Opaque wall, Building Insulation, skylight, HVAC, vertical fenestration, overhang, vertical fins, moisture management, daylighting, building envelope sealing, infiltration, exfiltration, ECBC, glazing, heat transfer through building wall, effect of air leakage, single and double pane windows, building orientation, building envelope design guidelines, cool roof, Urban heat island effect, exterior shading, effective aperture, visible transmissionCourse is helpful to Engineers, Consultants, Architects and Energy managers who wish to adopt Energy efficient design of building.
