Designing and constructing the most durable and energy-efficient building enclosures requires careful integration of materials and assemblies-as well as integration of the various disciplines on the project team. This is especially true when multiple façade materials are selected to complete an exterior design scheme-metal, glass, stucco, brick, terra cotta, and the like-which bring with them a host of issues in constructability and combined performance.
