Full Description

An Advanced Building Construction technique take a whole systems view integrating high performance windows and the walls around them to yield first cost savings through efficiencies of materials and labor while doubling overall energy performance. Multi-pane acrylic fixed windows up to R7 (.85 W/m2/°C) and R9 (.62 W/m2/°C) daylight transoms have been tested to national standards. Integrating these windows with 24” on-center (610 mm) framing results in the elimination of thermal-bridging framing to improve the thermal resistance of the wall around the window. The approach introduces the idea of the architectural bay, composed of one or more windows and the wall around it, as the ‘Finite Element’ of the building envelope: getting the bay ‘right’ from a thermal
