“…Commonly, claddings are made from stone, glass, metals, polymers or wood (Herzog et al, 2004). However, naturally elegant, untreated wooden claddings are preferred by many designers, architects, builders and users.…”

Claddings or façades are the outer part of building envelopes. In this study, wooden claddings are exposed to natural and accelerated weathering. The natural climate exposure was performed at a field test site located in Trondheim,Norway. Accelerated climate exposure was performed in the laboratory in an Atlas SC600 MHG solar simulator.Attenuated total reflectance -Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy was used to characterise surfaces.The objective was to assess degradation by use of FTIR and thereby see how this may be applied to evaluate the service life of wood. Four types of wooden materials were studied; three untreated and one treated with chromated copper arsenate. Surface concentrated cellulose and lignin are the primary wood components used to determine the quality and durability of wood during ageing. It was found that treatment with preservative chemicals and surface roughness has definitive impacts on cladding surfaces and change to the chemical properties of the materials during ageing. The acceleration factor deduced from the Arrhenius equation shows that an increase in temperature lowers the service life of cellulose at a higher rate than the other wood components.

“…Experts with considerable experience in facades note that there are a number of weak areas and conditions which should be kept in mind [6]. Some of the most prominent points of interests to consider have found to be as follows: the joints between the walls and floor, deformation of the building because of applied and dead loads, manufacturing, production and assembly related tolerances, dynamic, horizontal floor displacements caused by wind pressure/suction or seismic actions, changes of length due to differing materials and temperatures and finally water penetration through wind driven rain causing pressure on the surface where surface tension and capillary effected water seeps through narrow joints [8].…”

Prefabricated forms of construction have led to the rapid onsite assembly of buildings however there are still on-site tasks and processes which can be reevaluated and redone specifically in keeping with the principles of prefabrication instead being adapted to fit its purpose. One such process is that of waterproofing between prefabricated panels and modules which come from the factory fully complete façade and all. Conventional means of waterproofing can be used however it results in more work done on site, potential delays and generally requires access from the external face of the building. This paper presents the Modelling, Implementation and Evaluation of purpose developed weatherproof seals specific for Prefabricated Construction. An overview is provided of the entire development process and specific focus is given to the modeling using FEA computer simulations, manufacturing and testing which then resulted in the implementation in a prefabricated panelised building which is used as a case study and the means of further evaluation. These strategies have enabled an efficient and robust prefabricated waterproofing solution specific for this form of construction to be understood and implemented. The resulting case study has successfully verified the time and cost savings when compared to conventional techniques whilst still providing a durable and effective weatherproof seal for prefabricated panelised and modular systems.

“…Developers have sought for new approaches to overcome the disadvantages of single layer lightweight transparent facades. The main priority in building physics research went mainly to aspects of energy efficiency, indoor climate, ventilation and daylight [1][2][3][4][5] . Nowadays progress of DTF performance in terms of thermo-technical aspects concerning energy, aerodynamics, structural requirements, and aerodynamics, is demonstrated by a large number of reports in literature [6][7][8][9] .…”

This publication presents results of research on naturally ventilated Double Transparent Facades (DTF). The influence of the structural design of DTFs on the airborne sound insulation was investigated. For this purpose, 9 DTFs were measured in situ and 9 Double Transparent Façade Elements (DTF) were measured in a laboratory environment. The influence of the cavity thickness, the parallelism of the constitution layers, the amount of absorbing surfaces in the cavity, and the effect of ventilation slots were investigated. Based on the performed measurements, a prediction model that allows a fast engineering calculation of the sound insulation of DTF’s was developed.
