Sustainability in Architecture – Designing for a more adaptable future.
OVERVIEW
Modinex explores the world of sustainability in modern architecture. Analysing the key levers, and how the design community can influence sustainable design. We will analyse various building materials, construction methods, their embodied energy, thermal resistance, and what impact they could have on achieving net zero emissions.
Develop a deeper understanding of the guiding principles behind this, their impact on lives and how to harness them in your design language.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- What is sustainable architecture.
- What are the main characteristics of sustainable architecture.
- What are the characteristics of sustainable materials such as embodied energy, volatile organic compounds, and insulation R values.
- Sustainable bodies and importance of PEFC Certification, Global Green Tag and ASI (Aluminium Stewardship Initiative).
- Designing with timber, aluminium, fibre cement and concrete and how these products can be recycled and repurposed.
- Understanding the advantages & disadvantages of different building materials.
- Formal outcomes: Design – Practice Management and Professional Conduct – PC3, PC10, PC12. Project Initiation and Conceptual Design – PC28, PC31, PC33, PC35. Detailed Design and Construction Documentation – PC39, PC 45.

Automated Shade the Why and the How
OVERVIEW
If the history of technology has taught us anything it’s that automation is a force, be reckoned with. At some undefined point in the second half of the 20th Century, it became apparent that most procedures, tasks, and processes, that could viably be automated, eventually would be.
Things that used to be manual – like dishwashing, changing television channels, opening garage doors, and even flying a plane or driving a car – are now either fully automated or heading in that direction.
The same is surely true for shading systems. When combined with the latest high-performance fabrics, automation systems deliver a range of benefits, including improved child safety, convenience, security, comfort, energy savings, environmental friendliness, and more. Together, they point to the conclusion that many types of manual blinds and curtains are on the way out.
This session outlines the latest automated shading systems on the market, examines how they work, and shines a light on the best and most effective ways for specifiers to integrate them into their projects.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- List the benefits of automated shading systems as compared to those that are manually operated.
- Outline which types of window treatments are suitable for upgrading from manual to motorization, as well as the limitations associated with some of these.
- Outline the variables associated with motor selection and placement for various shading systems.
- Explain why combining the best performance fabrics with the right automation system is the key to performance maximisation.
- Outline what types of systems meet certification requirements.
- Formal Outcomes: Project Initiation and Conceptual Design – PC18, PC28. Detail Design and Construction Documentation – PC43, PC45.
