Facades of the Future: Looking Beyond Compliance, Prioritising Best Practices and Sustainable Design
In this CPD presentation, we look at the state of the façade market – where we have come from and where we are today. We explore Australian and global fire testing methods, their role in evaluating façade designs and systems, and discuss how looking beyond compliance is critical when designing safe buildings and futureproofing your specifications. With the increase of extreme weather conditions and climate change, we also investigate weatherability performance testing methods for common weather events such as hailstorms and severe wind.
