Building Envelopes Asia 2013

Cost Efficient Design, Engineering and Material Technologies for High Performance Building Envelopes

Sustainable built environment is the goal which the stakeholders are striving to achieve. Resource optimisation in design, engineering, building and operating the assets improve the sustainability quotient of the building industry.

Building envelopes, now an integral part of any building development, render the assets energy efficiency, aesthetics, maintainability and structural safety – all leading to sustainable built environment.

The 4th annual Building Envelopes Asia approaches this challenge by:

• Presenting ongoing building projects with efficient envelopes as case studies

• Debating through panel discussions, on-stage interviews and project reviews the cost-benefit analysis in combining aesthetics, high performance and constructability of envelopes

• Analysing the current trends in use of technology for envelope design and engineering

• Identifying new material and equipment solutions for efficient envelope fabrication

• Discussing the ways to address retrofitting challenges

The 4th annual Building Envelopes Asia 2013 presents 20 global experts from all stakeholder groups – developers, architects, façade engineers and technology providers, discussing current trends in:

• Efficient envelopes as a tool of ensuring ROI for developers

• Combining aesthetics, function and form in complex façade geometries

• BIM and its impact on envelope engineering

• Green vertical claddings and roofing systems

• New materials and technologies such as nano-coated glass and light shelves

• Envelope engineering for very tall towers
