About the Event


*Façade Performance 101: Principles and Trends of Facade Performance and
Design*
New high-performance facade technologies enable freedom in architectural
design. Knowledge of facade systems help designers and specifiers meet
stringent energy codes without sacrificing design aesthetics. The
presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of key properties of
facade systems, including common systems, coatings, and applications and
discussion of thermal and visual properties. The presentation will speak to
how facades are evaluated at SOM.

Few things in architecture are more visible, and potentially more impactful
on overall building performance as the building's facade. As design
methodologies, construction methodologies, and analytical tools continue to
rapidly evolve, the potential for greater design synergy between building
systems and the facade is ever growing.

The focus of this workshop will be to provide a baseline understanding of
the principles and mechanics related to curtain wall assemblies and related
facade cladding typologies, as well as define different approaches and
systems related to high performance facade design. In addition, the
workshop will present a variety for a practical understanding for how
different high performance facade concepts can be applied to a variety of
building types in a variety of climate conditions and markets.

Goals of the workshop will include:

   - Provide an understanding of the principles of unitized curtain wall as
   it related to design, performance, and constructibility
   - Understanding of air and water control and its importance in facade
   design
   - Understanding of thermal performance and condensation resistance of
   facade systems
   - Overview of Passive House standards and how it differs from typical
   U.S. construction
   - Basic understanding of a variety of high performance facade typologies
   including ventilated facade systems
   - Basic understanding of how applicability of certain facade typologies
   in certain markets


SPEAKER BIO
Robert Golda joined SOM in early 2014 as a Senior Enclosure Specialist
where he leads the facade technical design efforts on multiple large scale
projects in various regions. Prior to joining SOM, he was an Associate at
Heintges & Associates, a building envelope and curtain wall consulting firm
in New York, where he consulted on numerous large scale civic,
institutional, and commercial projects. Robert has presented at several
building envelope related conferences and has also published research
related to the Integrated Design Process. Along with his colleagues from
David Brody Bond, Robert received a Presidential Citation at the 2012 AIA
National Convention for involvement in the rebuilding of the World Trade
Center Site.
