ABOUT THE TOPIC:
We will briefly review the energy performance of current aluminum window wall systems and address the misconception in the industry that with the implementation of the new energy STEP Code, a full wrap of aluminum window wall may no longer be an option.
We will discuss building envelope challenges associated with multiple cladding trades and will also inform the participants of what to look for in a thermally enhanced, aluminum window wall system. This will be supported with both in-house and independent thermal modelling results of this new system and how building design does not have to be as restrictive as suggested by current STEP Code guidelines.
