The requirements in green standards alone, such as LEED, Green Globes and IgCC may lack comprehensive measures to address resiliency related to the long-term performance of the building enclosure

Kevin Franz of Metl-Span, earned certification as an accredited Building Enclosure Commissioning Process Provider and Commissioning Authority+Building Enclosure.

This article presents two examples of deficient installation of a simple architectural detail, the brick veneer relief angle, and discusses how a well conducted Building Enclosure Commissioning process can help prevent such failures

What might initially appear to be minor changes to referenced documents may actually give us a glimpse into big changes on the horizon for how we approach building commissioning

The term commissioning is a process for new and existing buildings that ensures the systems and components in a building are designed, installed, tested and maintained according to the operation requirements of the owner

The ASTM International committee on performance of buildings is sponsoring the Symposium on Whole Building Air Leakage: Testing and Building Performance Impacts on April 8.

Innovative trends in building envelope design, construction and commissioning are helping teams deliver high-performance enclosures to meet challenging project requirements

In recent years, a growing demand for high-performance building envelope solutions has been evidenced by the increased attention paid to this topic throughout the building design and construction industry

ARW will be hosting another CEU webinar for 1 AIA LU/HSW and 1 RCI CEH credit.
