Just like the natural environment, the built environment is also subject to erosion and damage by the forces of nature. It is important that we ensure our building envelopes and enclosures are able to withstand and resist all the forces of nature in order to keep the cost of maintenance as low as possible.
This session will discuss weathering problems, what causes damage to building envelopes, the mechanism of damage and how it affects overall performance and life of structures. The session will also discuss technical solutions using the most eco-friendly and sustainable products and technologies.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe how climate and forces of nature affect buildings and infrastructure.
- Identify weathering problems, along with their sources and effects.
- Determine ways to protect the building envelopes from weathering process.
- Predict trends in sustainable and eco-friendly Architectural coatings & finishes for buildings.
