Design Trends Presentation Focuses Largely on Sustainability


March 2, 2021
John Peterson, director of sustainable design and building innovation for MacLennan Jaunkalns Miller Architects delivered a presentation, Inspired Design Trends for Commercial and Residential Construction, at the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance Virtual Annual Conference last week. 
Peterson began by discussing the ways in which the coronavirus pandemic has affected nearly everything, including building design. The obvious focus is now on indoor air quality, he said. This allows us to rethink ventilation entirely in our buildings, bringing in more fresh air and having more operable windows. Peterson explained that his company is seeing more and more high-rise natural ventilation needs, which means looking at more complex automation systems, hinges and closing mechanisms, and airlocks that ensure air leakage is controlled as much as possible. Designers are moving more toward operable components, he said. ....

March 1, 2021
Robert Jutras, principal engineer at UL led a sponsored session called The New Canadian High Exposure Fenestration Installation Standard CSA A440.6:20, Explained during the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance Virtual Annual Conference. This new document from the Canadian Standards Association was published in 2020 and encompasses more than 140 pages, mapping out specifications for the installation of fenestration products in buildings of four or more stories in height, and of all occupancies.

That means codes pertain to the size of a building, he said. To this end, Parts 3, 4 and 5 cover large buildings of all type of occupancy. Part 9 covers housing and small buildings. Part 9 is sometimes referred to as residential, but it also includes small commercial buildings. ....
