UNIFYING PERFORMANCE & AESTHETICS WITH COMMERCIAL SHADES & GLASS

The presentation will focus on the importance of specifying shades from a project’s initial planning in order to exceed code, save costs and maintain building design intent.

IN THE LAB: EXPLORING PERFORMANCE & MATERIAL CONSIDERATIONS OF SHADE FABRICS

Shading is an important piece of any sustainably-designed project. It gives the occupants of the building control of their environment from the discomfort and energy waste that can occur from glare and solar heat gain, while maintaining views and access to daylight.

A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO SHADE FABRIC SELECTION

A Holistic Approach to Shade Fabric Selection seeks to elevate the importance of shade fabrics from that of just a window covering, to instead, a necessary architectural asset. The course teaches the importance of specifying architectural glass and solar control solutions together as a complete glazing system. Ultimately affecting façade aesthetics, occupant comfort, and the thermal performance of a building.
