Smart Building Skins that address climate change, disaster resiliency, provide better IEQ and lower operating/environmental costs. (Environment, Energy and Sustainability Stream)

It is smart to design and construct building envelope skins that are energy efficient for lower operating costs and are resilient/durable to protect the public and reduce the environmental damage caused by climate change.  it is essential to design and build a better envelope as building skin’s are not easily replaced  and have a direct impact on building performance by reducing or eliminating the need for oversized heating/cooling equipment. Therefore, the building envelope becomes the best place for clients to invest extra effort in building skin concepts, design and construction for the best return on investment -- both short-term and long-term.
