How to reduce the embodied and operational carbon footprint of precast envelopes using carbon fiber reinforcement  – 1 AIA LU/HSW

Course #ALTCES3001. Learning Objectives:

1. Discuss options for insulated sandwich wall panel system design including CFRP truss wythe connectors to achieve “ci” compliance and the range of insulation materials available to produce precast sandwich walls and building envelopes.
2. Address mix design and manufacturing considerations for wall panels including carbon-reducing finishing options for precast concrete enclosures
3. Present wall design strategies for reducing the embedded and operational carbon of precast and prestressed wall systems using CFRP reinforcement
4. Detail successful case studies for insulated sandwich precast walls in North America using CFRP technology
