Whether it is new construction, restoration, or repair, it is critical to the long-term success of any project and to the sustainable performance of any building that the building envelope components be brought together to create an Integrated Building Envelope. This is achieved by coordinating the three facets of all projects: Design, Material, and Installation (DMI).  This AIA course will define the concept of the building envelope, examine the importance of obtaining an Integrated Building Envelope, and explain how the functions of Design, Material, and Installation are intimately intertwined and how they can be coordinated

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
  1. Define and develop a better understanding of the Building Envelope concept.
  2. Develop a better understanding of the Integrated Building Envelope concept and how Terminations, Transitions, and Penetrations (TTP) impact the performance and sustainability of buildings.
  3. Develop a better understanding of the Design, Material & Installation with a focus on material as it relates to the physics of composite waterproofing systems.
  4. Explore the process of proactively creating coordination between Design, Material and Installation to achieve an Integrated Building Envelope.
