The main objectives of building facades

Facade design & facade access equipment

The main objectives of building facades are as follows:

1- Beautiful and pleasant view from outside the building
And finally, a good view
And acceptable to the city or place where the building is located.

2- Reducing energy loss in all seasons of the year, because the construction of the facade of the building plays the role of a thermal and cooling insulation.
Which also prevents wastage of energy produced by building heating and cooling systems
And it can, depending on the material, color and surface area,
It causes heat dissipation and reflection in summer, especially in the tropics.
Conversely, it performs the same function in winter to absorb solar energy and heat buildings in cold areas.

3- Implementing the facade of the building as an ideal and suitable sound insulation is quite clear
The implementation of the facade of the building plays a very important role in reducing the amount of noise pollution and annoying noises from the outside environment to the interior of office and residential buildings, and so on.
This is more common in cities with high noise pollution.

In today’s construction, this sound insulation is done using glass facades and multi-layered glass, which is filled with gases such as argon or vacuum.
Or composite aluminum sheet that has acoustic properties
And the best insulation for sound is heat
And has achieved higher returns.
Facades made of stone, concrete and brick are also good sound insulation.

4- Implementing the facade of the building to help increase the durability and stability of buildings against adverse weather and environmental conditions
(Earthquake, wind, acid rain and corrosive moisture, frost, acid gases in polluted air of big cities, harmful sun rays such as ultraviolet rays, dust and soot containing chemicals)
And thus increase the useful life of the building.
