At Kawneer, we never stop learning. By sharing knowledge with architects, specifiers and customers, we can build our products and systems around your exact needs, and help bring more ambitious, sustainable building projects to life.
Welcome to our AIA accredited webinar series, designed to educate and inform with a wide range of discussions featuring everything from curtain wall design and thermal barriers to storefront framing and sustainability.
Course Description:
Addressing daylight has always been a concern to architects designing facades. Glass in elevations allows daylight into facilities, and in many cases, could also bring in heat. Today architects designing facades have a range of tools and options that enable them to expand daylighting and views while controlling the negative aspects of solar heat gain.
In this presentation, we will review the benefits of daylight; strategies for expanding harvesting daylight and tools to calculate and validate options such as sunshades on a façade.
