This webinar focuses on the design of curtain walls constructed with the highest possible efficiency properties, serviceability characteristics, and recyclability of constituent parts for today's high-rise towers. The speakers are jurors for the Metals in Construction 2024 Design Challenge and will discuss the themes of this year's competition as well as entries that advance contemporary curtain wall design.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss current and future industry benchmarks for curtain walls incorporating the highest efficiency properties, serviceability characteristics, and recyclability of constituent parts.
- Analyze how a curtain wall system’s operational and embodied lifecycle carbon emissions can be clearly modeled, along with how providing additional supporting data may enhance understanding of its functions.
- Evaluate lifecycle performance as it applies to contemporary curtain wall design, including understanding acceptable rates of performance-decline over time.
- Identify scalable solutions for curtain wall innovation that have the potential for broader adoption in the urban environment.
