Learning Objectives:
- Describe how the aesthetic attributes of wood and aluminum windows contribute to interior environments that are livable, comfortable, productive, safe, and beautiful.
- Identify the initial costs associated with wood and aluminum windows and how they impact the life cycle assessment of the window systems.
- Compare how the physical attributes of wood and aluminum windows contribute to the * overall energy efficiency of the building envelope.
- Use energy modeling to determine the annual energy costs for wood and aluminum window systems in different climatic zones.

The Path to Becoming an Architect
Arthur Logan was working as an electrician helper in 2005 when a coworker told him, "You're in the wrong field. You need to be an architect."
"When I became an electrician helper, I started seeing how buildings were actually going up. And I was playing a part in that," says Logan. He decided architecture was something he wanted to seriously pursue and made a plan to go to school during the day and work at night to accomplish his goal.

Italy’s Push to Create Greener Cities Led to $5 Billion in Fraud
Rome, Milan and cities across Italy have become clogged with scaffolding after real-estate owners rushed to tap generous government programs to fund energy-efficiency renovations.
The problem is many were scammers. Instead of paying for improved insulation, draft-free windows and cleaner boilers, part of the state support ended up funding investment in cryptocurrencies, gold and other assets, according to Italian officials.

As Miami’s skyline booms, the future of a long-neglected tropical Brutalist gem hangs in the balance
Hilario Candela had barely landed in Miami along with a wave of Cuban exiles fleeing Fidel Castro’s communist revolution when he found himself with an intriguing assignment: designing a stadium along the city’s gleaming Biscayne Bay.
The firm with which he had found a job as a junior architect had been given a small budget to create a prefabricated-style grandstand. But taking a cue from his counterparts in Latin America, he envisioned something more.
