Corporate office enclosures frequently include operable windows for fresh air & connection to the outdoors.  Many of our office building projects therefore usually include:

  • Collaborating with the design team to assess the natural stack & cross-ventilation potential of operable window locations,
  • Facade detailing to include operable windows, trickle-vents & similar components for fresh air,
  • Integration of the operable window controls systems with the building management system,
  • ‘Return on Investment’ (ROI) analysis to facilitate owner decision-making.

To support the architect’s aesthetic vision and achieve the desired performance, we leverage our enormous experience in structuring, analyzing & illustrating complex comparisons to facilitate system, component & material selection.
