Improving Health and Safety Through Smart Home
Enabled Windows & Doors
Home automation goes to the next level – where high design meets high performance in residential construction. This course will explore recent trends in smart home technology for residential construction with a specific focus on windows and doors. We will look at the wide range of options available to architects designing a smart home, and how these choices can impact the health, safety, well-being and piece-of-mind of occupants. Lastly, we will discuss how architects can incorporate home.

Windows and Energy Performance
Windows are an integral part of all residential and light commercial buildings, and they directly impact both the energy performance and human comfort in those buildings. This course provides an overview of two directly related aspects of energy performance related to windows and doors in buildings: 1. The recognized codes, standards and testing that establish performance levels and requirements. 2. The options for glass and window frames that directly determine the ultimate performance.
 
Learning Objectives
  • Identify the relevant building codes and standards which define required energy performance for windows.
  • Review voluntary programs that strive for higher levels of energy performance above the codes and have a direct impact on the occupant/owner health and comfort.
  • Assess the range of glass options available and their relative impact and significance on energy performance and interior spaces.
  • Compare the materials, quality construction and performance characteristics of window frames of different designs made from different materials.
