BTS Building envelope: design and construction

The building envelope is the physical interface separating the interior of a building from its external environment. Through the quality of its design and the highly technical nature of its conception, the building envelope reflects the creativity and innovation of modern or traditional architecture, while providing numerous technical functions.

At the end of the courses, the holder of the BTS Building Envelope is able to:

• Prepare and conduct a communication
