Building Performance Starts at the Site: Early Decisions That Shape Architectural Outcomes
Hosted by LearnFormula Webinars
Some of the most important decisions affecting building performance occur before plans and elevations are fully developed. Site grading, finished floor elevations, drainage strategy, solar orientation, envelope exposure, snow accumulation patterns, access requirements, and relationships to surrounding context can significantly influence energy performance, durability, constructability, and long-term building behaviour. Yet these decisions are often treated as technical coordination exercises rat
