Proposed Session Description
We will discuss the materials sampling and research, and the quantitative and qualitative analysis for three case study projects completed in response to the unique sets of challenges and constraints each project brought, and how the findings of these analyses influenced the design decisions implemented on each project. All interventions to the envelope were evaluated for their impact on energy performance as well as embodied carbon.
Diversity and Inclusiveness
Two of the projects to be presented include significant architectural interventions to the existing facade that will provide universal accessibility to the building.
Learning Objectives
Pinpoint appropriate times in a typical design schedule to perform building envelope analyses.
Right-size analyses and interventions based on established project goals.
Interpret findings and translate those into architectural interventions.
Communicate analyses to clients for engaged goal and decision making.

Full Description
With climate advocacy becoming mainstream and financial constraints continuing to weigh on clients and institutions, many are looking at their existing building stock as a means of addressing growing and changing needs while being good environmental stewards. In most cases, these existing buildings require varying degrees of intervention to provide performance that is either required by modern codes or demanded by clients. In many cases, the need for improved performance must be balanced with the sensitivity to the architectural character of these buildings. Understanding an integrated and robust approach to regenerative renewal will assist building owners in making informed decisions that will ensure longevity and useability of their buildings.
