Façade Engineering
Façade engineering is concerned with the structural integrity and performance of the building envelope (resistance to air and water infiltration, thermal performance, and long-term durability of the facade). The design and construction characteristics of the building façade often significantly impacts on construction sequencing. Furthermore, problems with façade detailing and installation can lead to water ingress and leaks, causing disruption to businesses and tenants occupying the building.
