SA-12-021 -- (RP-1365) Thermal Peformance of Building Envelope Details for Mid- and High-Rise Buildings

ASHRAE Research Project 1365 (RP-1365) had the objective to provide thermal performance data of 40 common building envelope details for mid- and high-rise construction. The goal was to develop procedures and a catalogue that will allow designers quick and straightforward access to information but with sufficient complexity and accuracy to reduce uncertainty in the thermal performance of building envelope components.

This paper provides an overview of RP-1365 and focuses on how the procedures and building envelope thermal performance catalogue can be utilized in practice for users of the ASHRAE Handbook - Fundamentals and developers of ANSI/ ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1.
