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 examines the use of opaque glass as a façade material in a drained and back ventilated rainscreen system. Highlighted within will be the design consideration and benefits thereof when designing with and specifying opaque glass rainscreen. The importance of the building science principle of exterior wall assembly control layers, and the role they play in providing occupant health and safety will be emphasized for use with opaque glass, open-joint, drained and back ventilated complete rainscreen systems. Presentation will also address sustainability, safety and durability benefits that are associated with properly designed and manufactured opaque glass panels. while providing an understanding of required test criteria and typical test results when opaque glass panel are used within an open-joint, drained and back ventilated complete rainscreen system.
Learning Objectives
- Examine the materiality of glass for use in rainscreen design with regards to performance, sustainability and health and safety.
- Identify the choices of opaque glass for use in rainscreen applications.
- Explain the importance of integrating building science control layer functionality into rainscreen design for building performance and occupant health and comfort.
- Highlight design considerations associated with opaque glass in open- joint, drained and back-ventilated rainscreen.

This workshop aims to focus on utilizing high efficiency façade anchor systems and revolutionizing building envelopes from a design and practical viewpoint. By reviewing façade anchor system product development and installation conditions, key challenges and solutions will be explored. Real-life examples will also be used to deepen the understanding of utilizing energy efficient façade anchor systems, which could help with making better decisions by designers and builders.
Learning Objectives
- Understanding the advantages of an envelope focused building approach
- Insight into our approach in creating a high-performance façade anchor system
- Understanding the effective U-value variation between different façade anchor system installations
- How to manage challenging façade anchor installation conditions to obtain a highly efficient building envelope
