Designing Sustainable, Healthy Buildings with Durable, High-Performance Aluminum Facade Cladding

This course examines aluminum facade cladding systems and their role in creating durable, safe, healthy, and sustainable buildings. After summarizing the behavioral attributes of aluminum, the course compares common aluminum cladding formats and reviews key selection criteria related to performance, design flexibility, aesthetics, and integration with building envelopes and interiors. The course also outlines how high‑performance aluminum cladding systems may support credit achievement in the LEED® v5 Building Design and Construction and Interior Design and Construction rating systems and the WELL Building Standard™ version 2.

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

• Describe the performance and sustainability benefits of aluminum facade cladding, including its durability, low maintenance requirements, and recyclability.
• Describe high-performance aluminum cladding solutions and recall their advantages in terms of performance, ease of installation, design flexibility, and support of LEED v5 and WELL v2 indoor environmental quality requirements.
• Identify the key criteria for selecting aluminum facade cladding systems that protect the building envelope, integrate services, reduce the carbon footprint, and benefit appearance.
• Identify how high‑performance aluminum facade cladding systems may contribute to applicable LEED v5 and WELL v2 requirements related to material transparency, waste reduction, and ventilation design.
