American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. The overarching themes of this year's conference of the Architectural Engineering Institute were architectural engineering education, building envelopes, structural systems, building energy systems, wood, the seismic performance of non-structural components, facilities management, and the building design process. Among the 57 papers are also four case studies. The topics include a study abroad internship for architectural engineering students at the Temple of Antioch, rethinking the open rainscreen for the exterior building envelope, structural engineering for complex-shaped tall buildings, an air-to-air refrigerant flow system, the growing role of wood in building sustainability, structural fire engineering for modern building design, the behavior of non-structural components in recent earthquakes, using a multi-methodology research approach to improve building operating decisions, and construction safety in the design process.
