Next month, catch Payette’s Andrea Love discuss designing high performing facades through data-driven investigation at this year’s Facades+AM Minneapolis on July 24, 2019. The conference series is a dialogue encompassing all things building skin—bridging the profession, industry, academia, operations and ownership. This conference covers issues unique to the Minneapolis region, including innovative building skins, high performance facades and the future face of the city.
Northern Enclosure: Climate-Driven Strategies for High Performing Facades
The growing demand for high-performance enclosure systems is a driving force for innovative facade solutions. Through the data-driven investigation of geography, materials, and energy usage, these leading building science practitioners guide projects towards sustainable solutions.

Northeastern EXP features an organic pinwheel design, shaping research and classroom neighborhoods with shared community spaces radiating from the core to define each area. The building façade was tuned to achieve a 78% reduction in peak solar heat gain and a 62% reduction in cumulative solar radiation leading to energy use reductions and reduced mechanical system sizing. The use of stainless steel further leads to an embodied carbon reduction of almost one million tons when compared to aluminum while the natural stainless surface reflects light in a natural and warm tone giving the building an inherent energy.
