The Building Envelope

The Building Envelope is essentially the "skin" of a building. The quality of the Building Envelope will determine how well a building will function and its life span.

The requirements of the Building Envelope will differ with the climate of the area. In areas where insulation is necessary the following requirements have been identified by Dr. Neil Hutcheon in the Canadian Building Digest - CBD48 (1963)

1. control heat flow;
2. control air flow;
3. control water vapour flow;
4. control rain penetration;
5. control light, solar and other radiation;
6. control noise;
7. control fire;
8. provide strength and rigidity;
9. be durable;
10. be aesthetically pleasing; and
11. be economical.

Examination of building problems clearly indicates that the requirements of the Building Envelope most in need of solutions are airflow, water vapour flow, rain penetration, and durability.
