By presenting the basics of building science along with a prescribed set of details, Designing the Exterior Wall helps you understand why buildings fail and how they can be made more durable through design. Author Linda Brock connects the science and aesthetics of building envelopes through the examination of a variety of construction and cladding types. She features details from real world projects in a variety of climates, successful and unsuccessful case studies, and checklists you can use on your own projects. Helps you reduce your liability by showing why building envelopes fail and how they can be designed to endure. Moves from theory to actual construction by including hundreds of building envelope details from a broad array of projects and climates. Integrates numerous contemporary case studies, including Frank Gehry's Experiential Music Center in Seattle (thin skins), Renzo Piano's Rue de Meaux housing in Paris (terra cotta cladding), and Mario Botta's San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (prefabricated brick panels). Designing the Exterior Wall is a must-have book, whether you're an architect or a student. Order your copy today.

This project was commissioned by CMHC and Public Works Government Services Canada to further advance the application of the rainscreen principle to exterior wall design and construction of both residential and commercial buildings. The study includes three areas of interest. These are: 1) The measuring and monitoring of rainscreen field performance. 2) The development of a field performance and design compliance testing procedure (the Cavity Excitation Method or CEM). 3) Commissioning the design and construction of rainscreen wall and window systems. This report examines the third area of interest, commissioning the design and construction of rainscreen wall and window systems. It includes a discussion on the performance criteria for use in design and commissioning of the rainscreen wall. It presents a design method using the CMHC "Rain-V2.0" computer program and proposes a commissioning protocol for on site verification of compliance. Further, this report presents a case study which involved a rainscreen design, field performance evaluation and a commissioning procedure for the Canada Life Building in Toronto.

Draw and detail exterior walls with ease Accurately specifying and designing exterior walls can challenge even experieced architects. That's why you need Fred Nashed's Time-Saver Details for Exterior Wall Design. The most comprehensive single source available for hassle-free exterior wall construction, this plain-language guide offers easy-to-follow strategies for calculating loads and stresses--ranging from concrete and steel bearing walls to glass curtains--as well as expert tips and techniques for avoiding common problems and pitfalls. Regardless of your experience, you'll find authoritative data you can use right away to solve virtually any design challenge, such as: cost, durability, redundancy, and maintenance issues; selecting the most suitable products and systems; types of walls and windows; pros and cons of common wall assemblies; drafting methodology; defelection on wall panel and window frames; and much more.

This text provides a broad view of the research performed in building physics at the start of the 21st century. The focus of this conference was on combined heat and mass flow in building components, performance-based design of building enclosures, energy use in buildings, sustainable construction, users' comfort and health, and the urban micro-climate.

This report is the first of three reports on rainscreen performance research. It examines the first area of interest, field performance monitoring and wetting and drying of rainscreen cavities. The field monitoring of existing rainscreen walls was undertaken in two buildings. These included a metal and glass curtain wall at the University of Quebec in Hull, Quebec and a limestone cladding and architectural precast rainscreen wall on the new Canada Life Building in Toronto, Ontario. A laboratory investigation at Queens University examined the wetting and drying of a metal and glass curtain wall rainscreen system. This project revealed considerable information. While there were only two rainscreen systems monitored in the field, those two and similar experiences elsewhere by the author confirmed that pressure equalization in current rainscreen wall and window systems is virtually non existent. Several reasons were found but for the cases reviewed, the weep and vent openings were too small for the volumes served and the compartment seals were deficient or non existent. The rain penetration monitoring method using humidity and temperature of the cavity is quite promising but complex to interpret and will require further investigation. While pressure equalization was found to be poor in the cases studied, there were no observed water penetration problems. Further work in the area should include a more detailed examination of the wetting and drying of rainscreen wall types to distinguish between the effects of water storage in masonry claddings and the cavity moisture balance and the effects of other non water absorbing rainscreen wall systems.
