Sponsored by The Ornamental Metal Institute of New York
By William B. Millard, PhD

Learning Objectives:

  1. Recognize properties of facade innovations including organic materials, building-integrated photovoltaics, electrochromic and photochromic glass, adaptive sunshading, and other technologies that can both conserve and harvest energy.
  2. Demonstrate a working familiarity with the professional context surrounding these technologies, including factors affecting their adoption and policies that might amplify incentives toward their use.
  3. Identify several recent and contemporary construction projects that have used adaptive and energy- harvesting facade technologies.
  4. Understand the long-range environmental effects of designing and building with these facade components.
