Join us on Tuesday 10 November at 10am to hear architects, façade specialists and suppliers discuss the practical challenges and opportunities involved in extending the life of building envelopes.
As the built environment shifts its focus from replacement towards the retention and adaptation of existing buildings, the way we design, refurbish and maintain façades is changing. Extending the life of existing systems, upgrading their performance and reducing the carbon impact of necessary interventions all have an important role to play in making better use of the buildings and materials we already have.
How should architects and façade engineers assess existing façades and determine what can be retained, repaired or upgraded? How can ageing building envelopes be adapted to meet contemporary expectations for thermal performance, comfort and safety? What role can effective maintenance play in extending the service life of façade systems? And when components do need to be replaced, how can design for disassembly, material recovery and closed-loop systems keep valuable resources in use?
Join our free-to-attend webinar, in partnership with Schüco, to hear architects and façade specialists discuss the practical challenges and opportunities involved in extending the life of building envelopes. Through presentations and discussion, the webinar will explore how refurbishment, maintenance, low-carbon materials and circular approaches can help deliver façades that perform better, last longer and make more responsible use of resources.
