The Aluminum Advantage in Fenestration

This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.

Aluminum production has recently decreased its environmental footprint dramatically, and aluminum window extrusion technology has advanced considerably to make aluminum one of the most sustainable materials and aluminum windows top performers. This course covers the production enhancements and developments in the design of unique aluminum extrusions that, when combined with innovative thermal barrier materials, create window and door systems that save energy, increase healthy indoor air quality, and improve safety, sustainability, and aesthetics. The course concludes with a case study of a high-performance building using high-performance windows with custom extrusions.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Select or design aluminum window extrusions to deliver the best window performance.
  • Recall the sustainable attributes of aluminum when selecting window frame material.
  • Integrate superior frame technology with glazing strategies to create energy-efficient aluminum windows.
  • Improve indoor environments with reduced window air and water leakage and increased daylight.

Approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes. Delivered online, at your own pace.
