Why Façade Engineering?

“Façade Engineering is the Art of resolving Aesthetic, Environmental and Structural issues to achieve the enclosure of habitable space”. 

                              as "Society of Façade Engineering" 

A building’s skin can define its value, performance and architectural expression.

​

Façades and building envelopes – which form the outer skins of buildings – project image and creative intent. Increasingly, they are also understood as important environmental moderators and key influencers in project risk and commercial success.

​

A thoughtfully designed skin can make a new building work more effectively for its owners, occupants and environment. It can also transform the performance of an existing building

Façade cladding systems have very large impacts on all aspects of any building performance.  They directly influence peak heating and cooling loads, and indirectly influence lighting loads when day-lighting is considered. 

Because they are prominent architectural and design elements and because they influence occupant preference, satisfaction and comfort, the design optimization challenge is more complex than with many other building systems

Glazing and façade systems have very large impacts on all aspects of any building performance.  They directly influence peak heating and cooling loads, and indirectly influence lighting loads when day-lighting is considered.  In addition to being a major determinant of annual energy use, they can have significant impacts on peak cooling system sizing, electric load shape, and peak electric demand. Because they are prominent architectural and design elements and because they influence occupant preference, satisfaction and comfort, the design optimization challenge is more complex than with many other building systems.

What is the benefit the development of science and technology in the absence of the Knowledge to use?

Really there are no benefits in the absence of knowledge of how to use this technology or weakly apply it.

We all

• Need to those who can communicate with us effectively

• Need to manufacturers, Fabricators and suppliers with high experience

• Need to engineers with high efficiency with the ability to design and implement the project equal with the same concept and required form.

Really, all Construction Industry need to a Professional Engineers and Leaders, need to those who can understand knowledge and apply it.

We know that all Companies are working very seriously to share the knowledge to them customers, but through the business way to deal with them for some projects (by seminars, Exhibition) but; this way not Covering  for all Informations, tools and  Knowhow  for Facade Building Materials related to sustainability.

All Projects has Very strong relation with all building material, that's mean we all must have the knowhow for all other building materials to work professionally with all products an materials

Example: now most of the recent projects are keen about energy consumption and more toward sustainability (glass, aluminum, coating, stone .., etc.) And the knowledge of the application is so naive.

There are problems occur in some projects, not because of the efficiency of the product, but from operation errors.

Main Objective

Provide Attendees with a broad understanding and knowledge of facade engineering. This is to ensure that they will have the skill, knowledge, Fabrications,installation  and understanding to design, manufacture and construct building facades and cladding. The Workshop is intended to broaden Attendees from their original disciplines to have an understanding of all aspects and Materials of the building envelope.

​

Secondary Objectives:
Innovations and emerging issues
To develop and bring to market, innovative façade technologies, more efficient glazing, shading systems, day-lighting systems, and integrated controls with significant potential for increased energy efficiency in buildings beyond applicable standards.
To study wide variety of innovative façade technologies on the market or emerging into the market that could deliver potentially significant energy savings.

Structural engineering and integrity
To provide a sound structural engineering knowledge relevant to façade engineering.
To develop an understanding of how to enclose and seal buildings.
To introduce concepts of performance specification.

Building physics
To give a holistic view of the design of buildings.
To develop an understanding of comfort in buildings.
To provide a knowledge of the energy efficiency in buildings Materials and design.
To develop concepts of durability and life cycle costs.
To give knowledge of facade construction and manufacture and of façade materials.

Research methods
To give an understanding of information sources.
To develop an understanding of critical review.
To develop an ability to write scientific and technical reports
