At GWWO, the evaluation of the building envelope starts early in the design process. We believe that an interdisciplinary approach to design is inclusive of building systems and is essential to ...

Few aspects of building design can benefit from a 3D building information model more than building envelope design. Building envelopes are responsible for structural integrity, moisture control, ...

This presentation examines the critical nature of tie-ins, transitions, and continuity throughout the building envelope. These critical areas may only represent 1% of the building envelope, but it is ...

Data centers are among the most energy-intensive and operationally sensitive building types. This course equips architects and building envelope consultants with the knowledge to design resilient, ...
