Detailing High-Performance Facades: Cladding Decisions and Sealant Strategies
Today’s high-performance facade standards require the deft balancing of aesthetics, technical detailing, and the demands of the client and local building regulations. This workshop will discuss both material and technical solutions to meet those standards. Experts will be on hand to lead tutorials on the most recent innovations in rainscreen cladding, sealant solutions, and much more. Attendees will leave with a greater knowledge of material applications at the cutting-edge of energy performance and code compliance, all while learning of attractive solutions for clients and end users.

This course provides an advanced overview of the requirements of ASTM E2307 and the advancements in perimeter fire containment systems for today’s curtain wall systems. The value of understanding the requirements and performance of ASTM E2307 published design listings cannot be overstated for today’s ever-changing, complex curtain wall systems. By understanding the unique challenges that ASTM E2307 present and how to select a safe solution in the design phase, you can eliminate costly changes, delays, and compromised life safety requirements prior to the start of construction.
Learning Objectives
- Define the role and value of ASTM E2307 in today’s ever-changing and complex curtain wall designs.
- Identify the code requirements for perimeter fire protection.
- Understand how curtain wall assemblies perform per ASTM E2307 testing and the importance of independent third-party published design listings for perimeter fire containment systems.
- Recognize the complexity of ASTM E 2307 published design listings for perimeter fire containment systems and how to use them to your advantage.

Concrete slabs and steel beams that project through the building envelope, such as those used in balconies, canopies and parapets, break the insulation layer and create thermal bridging. Incorporating a thermal break significantly improves the thermal performance of building envelopes and helps avoid costly issues down the road. This course addresses thermal bridging solutions, as well as design best practices and local building code requirements related to structural thermal breaks.
Learning Objectives
- Understand how, why and where thermal bridging occurs
- Identify the three main problems caused by thermal bridging
- Discuss the pros and cons of different approaches to addressing the problem
- Know how, when and why to use structural thermal breaks, including local code compliance

Learning Objectives
- Identify potential moisture management issues that can cause harm to both a building’s aesthetic and structural integrity as well as occupants’ health and safety.
- List four basic components of rainscreen wall systems that help minimize rainwater passage into the wall and effectively dissipates any water remaining back to the exterior.
- Compare and contrast the suitability of various cladding materials to serve in rainscreen systems, particularly their durability, sustainability, and safety.
- Evaluate wood-plastic composite (WPC) cladding options for use in rainscreen applications, including recyclability, strength, and life-cycle cost attributes.
