To serve occupants in a changing environment, today’s buildings must be strong, sustainable, and safe. A structure’s enclosure has considerable impact on its overall performance. High-performance precast and prestressed building enclosures can help reduce the overall energy consumption of a structure throughout the structure’s life as well as maintain and protect its interior environment and occupants. This presentation will address the definition of high-performance building enclosures as well as identify key elements to their performance. This presentation will include discussion on how to use precast concrete wall systems to meet the latest code requirements, such as continuous insulation and air barriers. It will also include topics such as moisture management, thermal mass effect, and how to calculate effective R-values, integration with other building systems, and more. Concepts of resilience will be examined, and case studies discussed.
