7 OAA Pro-Demnity Window Wall Endorsement Design requirements: Rainscreen design: Primary and secondary planes of protection Ventilated air spaces between planes Positive drainage to the exterior 3 rd Party review: Independent consultant (architect or professional engineer) with expertise in design and installation of Window Wall systems must review, recommendations must be incorporated into design 7
8 OAA Pro-Demnity Window Wall Endorsement During design: Manufacturer must submit shop drawings and calculations, sealed by a professional engineer for structural integrity, air barrier continuity and water ingress management Manufacturer must submit air and water leakage resistance test reports Shop drawings and test reports must be reviewed and approved by design architect and independent consultant 8
9 OAA Pro-Demnity Window Wall Endorsement Before construction: Construct full-scale mock-up including framing, fixed and operable glazing, doors, anchorage, slab edge covers, and transitions to adjoining assemblies Test for air and water leakage and environmental separation to recognized industry standards Construction and testing must be reviewed and approved by the Independent Consultant. 9
10 OAA Pro-Demnity Window Wall Endorsement During construction: Window wall must be installed in accordance with the approved design, including recommendations of the independent consultant Window wall must be successfully field tested for air and water infiltration to recognized industry standards to the satisfaction of the independent consultant. 10
11 OAA Pro-Demnity Window Wall Endorsement After construction: 5 year minimum warranty from manufacturer against air and water leakage Includes all labour and materials required to repair or replace if failure occurs during the warranty period 11
12 Tarion Bulletin 19 for Condominium Construction Before construction: Scope of work: Design and field review services including schedule of site visits -must be proposed and approved by Tarion, to address risk areas, appropriate for the type and size of building to be constructed Design review: Review design documents, mark-up, submit, track resolution Design must comply with OBC and with good architectural and engineering practice 12
13 Tarion Bulletin 19 for Condominium Construction During Construction: Field review: Throughout construction as outlined in the Scope of Work, nominally: Generally, every 60 days At 75% complete stage At building watertight stage Identify construction deficiencies found, track resolution 13

47 Compliance Paths Prescriptive Building Envelope Option [tables] Component Performance Building Envelope Option [trade-off] Systems Analysis [energy modeling] 47
48 Systems Analysis Systems Analysis Approach for Entire Building: Proposed building shall provide equal or better conservation of energy than the standard design. Accounts for performance of all systems impacting energy performance: HVAC, Lighting, Envelope, etc. Over performance in some systems can be traded off for underperformance in others 48
49 Challenge with Systems Analysis The baseline building is a hypothetical code-matching building: The bar has been raised for ALL systems Baseline building already REALLY efficient Unless you are planning on installing highly efficient energy using systems (mechanical, lights, etc.) or incorporating some aspect of on-site renewable energy don t expect to be able to make up for shortfall in envelope performance 49
50 Continuous Insulation and Spandrel Design
51 Continuous Insulation Most Energy Codes have enacted continuous insulation requirements to address thermal bridging These codes create specific challenges with respect to spandrel design 51
52 Continuous Insulation 52
53 Alternate Means of Compliance Performance based approach provides alternative to these prescriptive requirement: Must demonstrate that proposed assembly meets or exceeds the specified Maximum U-Value 53
54 Glazing Spandrel Spandrel area interrupted by framing creating a thermal bridge Truly continuous insulation must be provided either inboard or outboard of frame Must demonstrate that proposed assembly meets or exceeds the specified Maximum U-Value 54
55 ASHRAE Research Project Goals and Objectives of the Project: Calculate thermal performance data for common building envelope details for mid- and high-rise construction Develop procedures and a catalogue that will allow designers quick and straightforward access to information Provide information to answer the fundamental questions of how overall geometry and materials affect the overall thermal performance 55
56 ASHRAE Research Project Calibrated 3D Modeling Software: Heat transfer software by Siemens PLM Software, FEMAP & Nx Model and techniques calibrated and validated against measured and analytical solutions Guarded hot box test measurements, 29 in total 56
