Sustainable Design through Daylighting AIA Course Number

Credit type: 1 AIA/HSW
Provider: Kawneer

Rising construction costs and skilled labor shortages fuel demand to transform the construction industry and seek innovation in traditional delivery methods. Modular Construction is an alternative delivery method that successfully drives construction efficiencies. Modular Construction also addresses the demand to reduce construction time and improve coordination of trades. This along with Green Construction practice’s goal of reducing construction site waste all have made Modular Construction a method of choice in today’s commercial construction. This session explores solutions for designing high-performance façades to support modular construction trends in commercial and multifamily segments.

Learning Objectives

Attendees will explore market trends that are propelling demand for alternative construction delivery methods for office and multifamily facades.
Attendees will learn methods for designing façade solutions that fulfill performance needs and support innovative construction trends.
After the presentation, attendees will have a deeper understanding of the range of product applications available to support off-site glazing solutions for modular façade construction.
By the conclusion of the presentation, attendees will better understand options for leveraging collaborative design-build methods to deliver modular facades.
