Shows how building envelopes have improved in the last 30 years:
1. 1990s: improvement in insulation through materials like spray foam as compared to
traditional fibreglass bats
2. 2000s: better IECC and ASHRAE 90.1 codes + introduction of double and triple
pane windows
3. 2010s: integration of PVCs + more effective air barriers, vapor retarders, and sealing
techniques
4. 2020s: development of aerogels and vacuum-insulated panels + LEED certification No particular location mentioned. Talks
1 - Best practices in building envelope becoming common (focuses on using more eco - friendly materials) in general about the development Guanqun Wang, Junjian Fang
