Mission-Critical Design: Resilient & Sustainable Building-Enclosure Solutions

Data center outages affect not only an organization's bottom line but also all the businesses relying on that center for support. When designing mission-critical infrastructure, using redundant and durable building-enclosure systems is essential to minimize downtime and outages.
This session will detail the design of durable and sustainable building-enclosure assemblies, focusing on robust roof systems that can withstand high winds and hail damage while also having lower embodied carbon. Join us to review various membrane solutions, key considerations for wall assemblies, and questions to ask manufacturer partners to help ensure owner confidence in the final solution.

Learning Objectives

1. Explore design strategies for resilient and durable building-enclosure systems for mission-critical buildings.
2. Learn how to specify resilient and robust roof-system assemblies that can withstand severe weather.
3. Review critical considerations for designing durable wall assemblies and managing the roof-to-wall transition and penetrations.
4. Discover essential questions to ask manufacturer partners to secure required sustainability information and guarantees for final solutions.
