Building envelope engineering (also known as facade engineering) is a relatively recent discipline in its own right, but one that is growing rapidly. It involves the application of engineering principles and technology to address aesthetic, environmental and structural issues in order to achieve an effective enclosure of buildings with the minimum amount of materials, energy and cost.

Building envelopes have a significant impact on the performance and cost of the buildings they enclose and on the people that inhabit them and there is a very large and growing number of building envelope materials and technologies that can be deployed in their design and construction. It is therefore not surprising that the building envelope engineer has become a valued member of the building design and construction team. There are some good texts available on building envelope engineering in general and on designing with specific building envelope materials and technologies, but the building engineering design process is rarely treated. Yet this is as important as detailed design formulae. This book provides a rare insight into the engineering design process for building envelopes and is a very welcome addition to the broader building engineering texts.

The book puts forward an alternative approach for the engineering design of building envelopes which use emerging technologies, particularly ones with complex geometry, and it explains how this approach differs from the conventional building engineering design approach. The new approach adopts some of the design processes commonly used in product development and involves the use of research and development and digital tools in the early stages of design, thereby achieving a higher degree of design resolution at the critical early stages of design.
