First Tuesday Lunch & Learn
Risk Mitigation for the Building Envelope
This presentation for Architects and Developers explores proactive risk mitigation strategies for building envelope design throughout both the design and construction administration phases. The course examines inherent risks associated with improper detailing, material selection, coordination failures, and poor construction practices that can lead to water and air infiltration, condensation, structural deterioration, energy inefficiency and long term durability concerns.
Participants will gain an understanding of how thoughtful design, quality assurance processes, and building envelope testing can identify vulnerabilities early, reduce liability, and improve overall building performance. The session also emphasizes the critical role of commissioning, field-testing, and performance verification in ensuring the building envelope meets intended safety, durability, and operational standards.
