| Thermal performance

|
|||||
| Description
This is a series of four volumes. Two volumes deal with thermal transmission and temperatures within curtain walling; two further volumes consider the assessment of condensation risk in curtain walls. The four volumes are: Standard for specifying and assessing for heat transfer (the U-value)These documents set out the rules for performing thermal analysis of glazing frames and take the reader through worked examples of U-value and condensation risk analysis. Compliance with the guidance
given in these documents will ensure that full account is taken of thermal
breaks, cold bridges and lateral heat transfer within the wall. Earlier
simpler methods of analysis are not capable of representing the true behaviour
of walls with complex geometry.

| IBC automated
window project
|
|||||
| Description
This report is the outcome of a project to develop an automated window that can be used to control ventilation and lighting in a room in response to both occupant demands and energy concerns. In addition the window can be integrated with other appliances within a building as part of an overall control strategy. The report describes the integration issues encountered when currently available window control technologies with various standard building control technologies are brought together. Solutions used to produce a functional window are given. This report serves as a guide
to anyone wishing to develop or adapt automated facade components.

| An
initial review of the issues related to the use of automated devices to
control internal environments identified that the interaction between an
individual occupant and an automated window can be fundamental to the attainment
of user comfort. As a result, the project concludes that although
the current state of the art of facade component control is adequate there
is, in the future, a need to develop intelligent control techniques to
provide a control system with a certain degree of flexibility so that it
may adapt to specific locations and occupants.

Hardware, Integration, Window control systems, Human response to ventilation,
Human response to shading devices, Human response to automated windows

| Description
These two interactive CD's contain a wealth of information on cladding construction and cladding interfaces. Cladding buildability is a guide to tolerance and fit of cladding onto structural frames including a method of assessment of the risk of lack of fit. It was written by Taylor Woodrow and CWCT. The Cladding Interface Standardisation Strategy (CLADD:iss) gives examples of the many different forms of building envelope and cladding components. It was witten by Loughborough University.

| Cladding
buildability
A guide to toleance and fit of cladding onto structural frames including a method of assessment of the risk of lack of fit. Examples of problems experienced with the erection of cladding are given. Software enables the user to calculate the probable risk of lack of fit between the cladding panels and their support points on the structure. The software was designed for a unitised cladding system and could be adapted to cope with other cladding types. The CD contains guidance to help reduce the risk that cladding cannot be erected, right first time, for reasons of inaccuracy, error and poor design or other causes of lack of adjustment. It covers both frame and cladding, design and construction. CLADD:iss
CLADD:iss focuses on interfaces and shows the principles and practice of designing and constructing interfaces in the building envelope. The CD is fully interactive with the ability to view many combinations of cladding and interface in a split screen mode. CLADD:iss has been prepared
by the Department of Civil and Building Engineering at Loughborough University.

Test methods for facades: Slope glazing systems identifies two new tests - a test for the watertightness of unsealed slope glazing systems using static pressure with a wind generator, and a test for site testing of the watertightness of slope glazing systems using a spray bar. 'Guide to Good Practice for
Facades' gives advice on the choice of materials, components and finishes,
as well as quality assurance, fabrication, transportation, storage and

| The effect
of edge details on heat transfer through insulated panels
|
|||||
| Description
This report looks at the additional heat loss that occurs at the edge of insulated panels due to lateral heat flow in the panel skin.. The report describes the findings of a project to assess the influence of edge details on the thermal performance of insulated panels as typically used in stick system curtain walling. It illustrates the problem as it currently exists, through a combination of measurement and computer simulation, and identifies good practice for the design of insulated panels in stick-system curtain walls. The report shows good and
bad practice and details of calculating accurate U-values for panels in
curtain walls.

| Performance
and testing of fixings for thin stone cladding
|
|||||
| Description
This report is concerned with the fixing of natural stone cladding units as part of a curtain wall or rainscreen. Developments in the cutting and handling of stone mean that natural stone can now be cut, depending on the stone type and quality, to thickness as low as 20 mm. This has a number of implications for the fixing of natural stone units, which make them different from the more traditional use of stone at thickness of 40-75 mm. Stone cladding units are subject to temperature and moisture movement. Thinner stone units have less thermal mass and undergo greater thermal movement.Thin stone units are more likely to be saturated through their thickness and undergo greater moisture movement. This report details the loads and movements on stone cladding, describes the different methods of fixing stone cladding units and methods of test to ensure their satisfactory performance.

| Description
This Standard comprises three volumes: Standard for Walls with Ventilated RainscreensThe aim of these documents is to assist those who specify, design, manufacture or install rainscreen facades. They set performance criteria in a rational framework and provide a means for the consistent specification of rainscreen performance. Standard for Walls with Ventilated Rainscreens sets out a framework for the specification of a rainscreen and establishes specific requirements for its performance. Standard for Testing of Ventilated Rainscreens (draft for development) gives advice on the range of tests that are available to test the performance of the rainscreen wall. The applicability of each test is described individually, giving the specifier the option to choose the relevant tests and appropriate size of test specimens. 'Guide to Good Practice for
Facades' gives advice on the choice of materials, components and finishes,
as well as quality assurance, fabrication, transportation, storage and
installation and maintenance.

| Guide to
the selection and testing of stone panels for external use
|
|||||
| Description
This guide addresses the issues construction professionals are faced with when considering natural stone as an external cladding material. Specific guidance has been developed including a series of preliminary and production tests to ensure that the selected stone meets the required aesthetic, durability and strength requirements. The guide deals with stone
panels that are thin in relation to their height and width. It is
particularly relevant if the durability of the stone is questionable because
of adverse environmental conditions or lack of available data. The
guide does not cover the use of ultra thin stones incorporated in composite
panels.
