This session provides a practical overview of the window and door systems most commonly used in multi-family and mixed-use projects. It covers material options—including aluminum, clad-wood, fiberglass, and vinyl—along with design approaches and performance criteria that architects rely on when evaluating products for dense residential environments. Attendees will review key considerations for various opening types such as punched openings, large combinations, entrances, storefront, and curtain wall conditions. The presentation also addresses specification strategies that support safe, durable, and energy-efficient building envelopes for both new construction and renovation work.
