Facade engineering in construction involves the design and engineering of building envelopes to achieve architectural, functional, economic and sustainability goals.
Here are our key aspects of the façade engineering:
- Role and scope: Our Façade Engineers focus on enclosure performance, covering all aspects of the building envelope from basement to roof elements, including curtain walls, dormers, precast concrete, stone, masonry walls and a variety of systems and materials.
- Design guidelines: Our façade engineering aims to enhance a building’s aesthetic value, reduce energy consumption, enhance daylighting, optimize airflow and energy efficiency, environmental performance, occupant comfort and sustainability.
- Complexity and importance: Facades are critical elements of a building and represent a significant portion of construction costs and require careful consideration to meet design criteria and regulatory standards.
- Holistic design approach: Our Façade Engineers take a holistic approach that considers the aesthetic, functional, environmental and economic aspects of façade design. They collaborate with multidisciplinary external teams to integrate the requirements of various specialties.
- Focus on sustainability: Our Façade Engineers prioritize sustainability by conducting life cycle assessments (LCAs) of façade projects to evaluate global warming impacts, operational energy consumption, renewable energy and green façade initiatives.
- Technical excellence and innovation: Our Façade Engineers use advanced tools to effectively optimize project requirements. They evaluate existing materials, systems and new technologies to ensure technical applicability and cost-effectiveness.
Façade engineering plays a key role in modern building projects, combining technical expertise with innovative design solutions to create visually striking, energy-efficient and sustainable building envelopes that meet the evolving needs, while meeting stringent performance standards and regulatory requirements. Covering all aspects of façade engineering and installation, EK Innovative Engineering team can help implement any type of building exterior, no matter where it may be. We add value to projects by ensuring thoughtful design of project budgets and ensuring projects are delivered on time and budget. We can develop and supervise the installation of a wide variety of types of facades.
Key examples of facade systems that we implement include:
- Structural glazing
- Metal cladding systems
- Ceramics
- Eco-facades
- Low carbon façade solutions
- Facade design with increased security
