An Integrated Building Envelope is a crucial success factor for creating a structure that can perform as expected and deliver an entire lifetime of service. 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.
