Winter Meeting 2017

REASHRAE Winter Meeting - Dec. 14

Megatall Building Systems

Tall commercial buildings present a series of design problems that differ from those that are found in other projects in the built environment.
There are three classifications of tall buildings:

Tall buildings (heights >100m)
Supertall buildings (heights >300m)
Megatall buildings (heights >600m)

This lecture will be of interest to owners, architects, structural engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers and other specialized engineers and consultants. The design guide not only focuses on the efforts of designers of the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, but also addresses the importance of the design team and their collective efforts and concerns that are the critical elements in determining the ultimate solutions to project needs of a tall building.
