Multifamily Enclosure Design
August 25, 2022 @ 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
There are building enclosure considerations that are unique to multifamily design and construction. These buildings are often inherently challenging as the project team needs to make on-going decisions that balance performance with cost and the goal of maximizing value for the owner. There are also technical challenges associated with multi-family projects that need to be thoroughly analyzed during design such as the air barrier system, roof insulation and venting concepts, balconies, and amenity decks. This presentation will highlight typical mishaps and the common considerations for multi-family enclosure design.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn to identify unique enclosure challenges.
- Understand the process for reviewing options with project teams that balance cost with performance.
- Learn key technical concepts for enclosure assembly design.
- Learn typical detailing strategies to maintain continuity of the enclosure environmental control layers.
