Façade Sustainability

The façade is the primary environmental modifier. However, whilst the façade design is able to dramatically determine this environmental performance, when selecting the façade design proper consideration should be given to sustainability. Wintech provide a range of services to help see that the following points are properly considered:

  • Low embodied energy materials are employed
  • Whole life façade performance is considered
  • Natural ventilation strategies are developed
  • Solar gain is carefully controlled
  • Natural daylight use is maximised
  • Cold bridges are designed out of the façade
