            SB-10 – THE ENVELOPE ULTIMATUM | 12 OCT 2012
Why does it matter?
 • Codes demand it
 • Substantial portion of construction budget – 20% range
 • Integration with HVAC requires that the building envelope
   perform
 • Sustainable buildings often incorporate innovative assemblies
   and materials
 • Envelope failure can require costly repairs to re-establish the
   design intent
 • Envelopes are complex systems with shared responsibilities
   and are not typically commissioned
