ABOUT THE COVER
333 Grand St. needed a lightweight stone and brick option for their exterior facades. The project achieved multiple cladding types and shapes in a fully engineered continuous insulation system. Photo courtesy of Sto Corp.
Decoding Embodied Carbon
While much attention has historically been focused on operational carbon emissions generated during a building's lifecycle, the significance of embodied carbon cannot be overstated.
Moving Beyond Monolithic Design
A building’s cladding is not a system in and of itself. While the exterior cladding is critical to both the design and functionality of the building, it is only one component of the building envelope.
What it Takes to Execute a Successful Recladding Project
This project’s previous panel replacement was unsuccessful as the marble was not a good aesthetic match. The team desired a solution to mitigate the risk of a panel falling while maintaining the building’s original design intent.
Energy Efficient Building Envelopes and SIPs
One proven way that design teams can deliver a virtually airtight, low-embodied building envelope is by integrating structural insulated panels (SIPs) during the planning stages of a project.
Embodied Carbon Impact of Enclosure Materials
Enclosure materials influence embodied carbon goals. Selecting and designing for low-carbon enclosure materials is important for reducing the overall embodied carbon impact of the building.
