Engineering Resilient Facades
Australia’s extreme climate demands durable facades that ensure safety, performance, and longevity. This whitepaper explores key compliance standards and material solutions, designed to withstand harsh weather and thermal expansion.
Australia’s rising temperatures are intensifying heatwaves, compromising the structural integrity of facade materials through accelerated wear and thermal expansion. These shifting climate conditions present significant challenges for the built environment, demanding facade solutions that can withstand extreme weather while ensuring occupant safety, comfort, and long-term performance.
Engineering Resilient Facades: Performance and Compliance for Australia’s Diverse and Demanding Climate helps architects and specifiers navigate these challenges as it delves into the critical aspects of designing resilient facades, with a particular emphasis on the relevant codes and standards governing weather resistance. Meeting facade performance compliance and testing standards is essential to ensuring buildings can withstand increasing environmental stresses.
