摘要：

The harsh environment of south Florida leaves little to no margin of error in the construction practice; in fact, the quality of execution significantly affects the performance of the building envelope. Walls, windows, doors, and roofs are the first line of protection against this environment. This article offers an overview of common factors that impact the performance of the building's envelope in south Florida. The components that are outlined in the article include stucco covering, steel post-tensioning live ends, glass and glazing, and tiled decks. Examples of defects and failures as observed during forensic investigations in both new and existing buildings are presented. Best practices for design and construction will also be discussed.
