About this AIA Course:
Connecting Occupants with the Outdoors – How ‘’frameless’’ window & door systems achieve quality views, high levels of natural daylight and highest energy efficiency standards for superior indoor environmental quality that supports occupant health and work productivity. People spend 90 percent of their time indoors, whether at work, school or home. Focusing building design to improve the indoor environmental quality to achieve healthy and comfortable places is essential. For employers, investors, building developers and owners, a better indoor environment leads to higher productivity. Considering that people are the most valuable resource in most organizations, a small improvement in productivity or reduced absenteeism can have a major impact on the bottom line and competitiveness of a business (‘’Delmas and Pekovic, 2012, Environmental standards and labor productivity: Understanding the mechanisms that sustain sustainability’’). Decisions made by project teams on views, daylighting and thermal design have a crucial impact on occupant comfort and health. The topics around quality views, daylighting, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency in relation to window and doors systems are introduced and design strategies to overcome particular challenges are communicated and discussed in this presentation. These aspects are key aspects to building design that influence the way people learn, work and live.
