Designing High-Performance Facades: Spec The Edge (1 CPD Point)

Have you ever wondered why we are so reliant in Australia on Air-Conditioning in Summer and Heating in Winter?

The frame of a window has a significant impact on the overall energy efficiency of any window and door – including that of double-glazed systems.

While double glazing is seen as a benchmark for energy efficiency, to select double glazing with a standard aluminium frame is only going halfway to achieving a high performing energy efficient window.

We expand on this topic and explain how important glazing is in the building envelope and to make our built indoor environment comfortable.
