Most major property owners know of corrective measures for isolated problems, but none has an integrated, comprehensive solution to address the needs for maintaining an asset efficiently and cost-effectively over its service life. BELCAM addresses this situation by: -establishing the links between laboratory and field evaluations -developing information structures to integrate cost, performance and service-life models -implementing information technology tools to transfer technology to those in the industry. NRCC [National Research Council of Canada] and PWGSC [Public Works and Government Services] have agreed that a pilot project in a well-defined, well-understood asset domain would be the best approach for reaching their goals. The Building Envelope Life Cycle Asset Management (BELCAM) is a "proof of concept" project to initiate their plan. More specifically, BELCAM is a three-year research project concentrating on service life and asset management issues dealing with low-slope and flat roofing systems.  2, record 3, English, - Building%20Envelope%20Life%20Cycle%20Asset%20Management

La plupart des propriétaires de bâtiment savent quelles mesures prendre pour corriger des problèmes isolés, mais il leur manque une approche globale et intégrée pour assurer la gestion des biens et des bâtiments de manière efficace et économique tout au long de leur cycle de vie. Le projet BELCAM a précisément pour but de fournir une telle approche : -en corrélant les évaluations effectuées en laboratoire et sur le terrain; -en développant des systèmes d'information qui intègrent des modèles des coûts, de la performance et de la vie en service des bâtiments; -en utilisant des outils informatisés pour transférer cette technologie aux membres de l'industrie.  2, record 3, French, - Gestion%20des%20biens%20au%20cours%20du%20cycle%20de%20vie%20de%20l%27enveloppe%20du%20b%C3%A2timent

Elements of the building envelope are the exterior walls (including windows and doors), the roof and the floor of the lowest level of the building. The building envelope has a number of functions : it holds the building up; it keeps the rain and ground water out; it keeps the wind out; it keeps water vapour out; and it controls the transfer of energy (heat) between the inside and the outside. One material may control only one of these functions or may control several functions at once.  11, record 8, English, - building%20envelope

Building envelope (Sometimes referred to as building shell).  7, record 8, English, - building%20envelope

On the Internet, approximately 25 sources out of 30 give "building envelope" and "building shell" as synonyms without restrictions of any kind; 5 sources out of 30 use the formulation "sometimes referred to as ...". Other sources define "building shell" as "The skeleton of a building to which the finished exterior and interior are applied. It includes the building foundation", which refers to a completely different concept. We conclude that for a majority of authors the two terms may be used as synonyms and that for some others "building shell" refers to the skeleton (structure) rather than the envelope of the building.  12, record 8, English, - building%20envelope

Un bâtiment constitue un ensemble stable par lui-même (structure) et vis-à-vis du sol sur lequel il repose (fondations), limité et clos par une enveloppe (parois extérieures) protégeant un milieu intérieur corrigé (agencement et équipements techniques) du milieu extérieur naturel, par définition hostile (intempéries).  3, record 8, French, - enveloppe

Record number: 8, Textual support number: 2 CONT

L'enveloppe est l'organe dont la fonction est de séparer l'intérieur d'un bâtiment de l'extérieur et de le protéger contre les sollicitations de divers agents : la pluie, le vent, la chaleur, le froid, la neige, le bruit, la lumière solaire, la pénétration de personnes ou d'animaux. Elle permet aussi les relations nécessaires avec le milieu extérieur : éclairement, vue, ventilation, captage éventuel de rayonnement solaire. [...] Elle est constituée de la façade, des pignons et de la toiture et peut participer pour partie à la structure (façade porteuse). [...] Pour désigner l'enveloppe on parle parfois du «clos et couvert» dont l'achèvement marque toujours une étape importante d'un chantier, car il permet de travailler à l'abri, hors des intempéries.  4, record 8, French, - enveloppe
