Steel Tolerances And How To Design For Them
This presentation will cover all things steel tolerances. Understanding how straight a beam should be to how much lean a column can have is essential to producing a good design that avoids field fixes and compromise in the architectural design.
Seeing Clearly: Untangling Architectural Glass Selection
From solar and optical properties to thermal performance, from structural and safety to acoustic performance, glass selection is one of the most important decisions you will make for a façade. But with a large variety of coatings, substrates, glass treatment options, cavity fills, and spacer options to choose from, where do you begin?
Masonry Movement Joints
Join us to examine the movement characteristics of different masonry materials. Learn how to accommodate or restrain this movement with control, isolation, or expansion joints. We’ll provide common placement of these joints to prevent buildings from cracking and explore options to make movement joints more aesthetically pleasing.
Maximizing Envelope Performance with IMP-Integrated Components
Maximizing Envelope Performance with IMP-Integrated Components explores an advanced insulated metal composite panel building envelope system, components that have been engineered to integrate with the system – including windows, sunshades, accent fins and louvers – and how the IMP system and integrated components combine to create a high-performance building envelope.
