By Gary Madaras Suspended acoustic ceilings are mainstream inside many types of buildings and can serve four main sound-related roles. Second, if the partitions between rooms do not extend full height, ceilings can be combined with lightweight plenum barriers to provide privacy from adjacent rooms on the same floor (B in Figure 1).

The recent innovation of integrating phase change material (PCM), a well-established technology, into ceiling panels has generated significant interest. By passively moderating indoor temperature fluctuations, thermal mass helps make building structures more resilient to heat waves and power outages.

Severe and frequent condensation in this small condominium building has resulted in wood decay and mold growth, resulting in deterioration not just of the oriented strand board (OSB) roof deck but even the top chord of the wood truss. To prevent a build-up of moisture, the unconditioned attic space is vented to the exterior.

Low-slope and steep-slope unvented roof systems ( i.e. insulation and air barrier are applied directly to the underside of the roof deck) are common in applications where designers are seeking cost-effective and energy-efficient roof assemblies. The unvented attic space is completely within the building thermal envelope. by Anthony J.

In any case, this is certain: Digitization on the building site and in the offices for planning and administration must and will progress faster. Machine learning allows IT systems to improve themselves by independently “learning” from data using statistical methods. The idea of Building 4.0
