Companies Optimizing their Designs
Benefits
The façade can control more than 57% of a building’s overall energy usage and is a significant influence on the comfort of occupants. Identifying optimal design and specification solutions for the façade from early stages in design mitigates project cost during construction and reduces the running cost of the building itself.Explore benefits
