22 March 2009
09.00 - 15:00 Masterclass A : Performance specification of building envelopes
Design of modern building envelopes are attempting to match the new requirements for energy efficiency and sustainability with the traditional requirements of weathering, structural integrity and safety. Complex design solutions are evolving for which performance specification and testing is the only practical route to procurement.
During this Masterclass you will walk through the steps of selecting
a façade solution, specifying performance, testing the integrity of
the design and ensuring appropriate quality and appearance of
the completed building envelope. Examples of good specification
practice will be presented in the context of international standards.
You will have the opportunity to discuss how specification and
testing can be integrated into the procurement process.
Benefits:
- Understand why particular envelope solutions are adopted
- Examine the implications for specification and construction in each case
- Discuss why, what and when to test
- Explore how to ensure compliance with the specification
- Know how to specify for appearance and quality

25 March 2009
09.00 - 15:00 Masterclass B :Integration of early modeling within the design stage
The design of masterplans and buildings need to respond to
complex issues, integrated team working and knowledge base
at the earliest point of conception.
The workshop seeks to show how integrating environmental
models, testing and BIM models can help arrive at practical
and viable solutions.
Benefits:
- Understand the use of modeling to help determine the façade type
- Examine the interaction and the importance of communication within the wider design team
- Optimising every stage of the design by adopting an integrated approach
- Understanding the importance of sustainable design, energy, materials and innovation
