Insulated Precast Enclosures: Strategies for Controlling Performance, Quality, and Cost
This course explains and illustrates how high-performance, fully composite insulated precast sandwich wall panels can be designed and specified to manage aesthetics, quality, performance, and cost. It explores the pros, cons, and attributes of wythe connectors such as carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) grid trusses, options for achieving continuous insulation, manufacturing and testing procedures, and strategies for managing costs. It concludes by providing illustrative sample installations to demonstrate the broad range of building types and appearances that can be created with insulated precast enclosures.

Achieve Net Zero Building Goals with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Precast Sandwich Walls
Concrete is an essential part of modern buildings. As net zero building become more common, it is crucial to find ways to reduce concrete's carbon footprint and explores strategies for reducing embodied carbon and operation carbon in precast sandwich wall panels and insulated architectural cladding.
