Lunch & Learn: Sustainable, Livable Condo Balconies

The condo balcony is one of the most under-used spaces in a condominium – and yet it is the space with the most potential to improve the quality of life of the resident and contribute to a sustainable, low-maintenance building envelope. This presentation will explore the benefits of balcony glazing systems that create a protected non-thermal space on the balcony without adding to the gross floor area. Studies that address the livability and sustainability of these systems in relation to both new developments and retrofitted buildings will be included.
