Key Issues for DesignTechnical Challenges:

• Increase thermal performance• Masonry as predominant cladding material• Provide an air & water barrier• Provide fire / smoke containment to enhance

building resilience• Limit cladding system weight (5% dead load

threshold for steel structural members, 10% building lateral)

• Aggressive design & construction schedule• Lower 2 levels fully occupied & accessible during

construction• Limit disturbance to hospital operations

Key issues for design

Thermal Performance of the Exterior Envelopes of Whole Buildings XIII International Conference

Typical Existing Wall• Masonry wall supported from steel lintels• Lack of masonry expansion joints• No insulation in cavity wall construction• Aging flashings • Parged cementitious coating on CMU as air

barrier• Thermally displaced masonry (no brick EJs)• Failing glazing system (non-insulating)• Exterior wall not code compliant for resisting

lateral imposed loads

Code & Performance Implications• Provide horizontal & vertical fire and smoke

separation in new and existing cladding.• Relieve lateral loading on existing envelope• Transfer lateral and gravity loads to steel

frame only• Comply with current Baltimore City Building

Code and ASHRAE standards• Achieve Baltimore City Green Building

Exterior Cladding SystemStrategy…• “Recycle in-place” the existing masonry and

and incorporate into new hybrid mass wall• Remove excess deadload from structure• Construct new structural frame for cladding -

outboard of existing wall face• Structural supports supporting precast needled

through existing wall to steel frame• Compartmentalize new and existing vertical &

horizontal cavities in exterior wallsNot viable:• Removing existing brick (and/ or) block and

reconstructing cavity wall

Employed envelope strategy

Materials PaletteWall systems• Precast panel - thin-brick mechanically bonded to thin-precast CFMF concrete panel.System thickness of 2-1/2” brick/concrete on 6” CFMF = 8 ½” overall thickness. • Aluminum curtain wall - thermally broken curtain wall with fluoropolymer coating,

insulating glazing, low-iron glass with ceramic frit and low-E coating• Metal panel system - aluminum panel with foamed-in-place poly-iso core on CFMF

Roof systems• PVC membrane – fully-adhered protected roofing membrane assembly (PRMA) over

insulation & protected with insulating concrete topped roof pavers• Green roof - extensive field system

Other systems • Sloped glazing systems (skylights)• Perforated aluminum panel on galvanized steel framing (screen wall)

Measurement of displacement necessary for detailing overcladding solutions…

• Survey collected data from 37 different locations over a 2 day period

• Construct accurate 3 dimensional model of surfaces for subsequent analysis

• Analysis and incorporation of data into Revit
