Building envelope rehabilitation projects offer valuable insights into
the real-world performance of building designs and products over time and
highlight key opportunities to increase the overall performance of buildings in
the futureboth rehabs and new construction.
The presentation highlights four key lessons learned from various
building envelope rehabilitation projects. Through reviewing project case
studies, trends emerge surrounding common envelope failures, opportunities to
shift buildings towards net zero, the importance of lifecycle cost analysis,
and leveraging environmental impact data when selecting construction materials.
Learning objectives:
1. Understand the impacts of fenestration and cladding assembly designs
on the overall energy performance of the building envelope
2. Understand key technical and financial 'lessons learned' from
real-world building envelope rehabilitation projects
3. Learn about new product trends and innovations aimed at addressing
building envelope performance and longevity
4. Review the importance and impact of Environmental Product
Declarations (EPDs) when designing and selecting envelope materials
As the President of Cascadia Windows & Doors, Mike brings
invaluable industry insights garnered from over three decades of experience in
the fenestration and building science industries. Particularly, Mike
understands the specific needs of fenestration customersfrom architects
through to installersand can connect those needs to Cascadias product
development process. This allows the company to continually innovate products
that exceed industry expectations. In addition to his work at Cascadia, Mike is
also actively involved in the building science industry, acting as an
Architectural Building Engineering Technology instructor at BCIT, as well as
recently sitting on the board of directors at the Applied Science Technologists
& Technicians of BC (ASTTBC).
