The term "building envelope" refers to the physical boundary between the interior and exterior of a building, including the walls, roof, doors, windows, and foundation. It is designed to provide a barrier against external elements such as wind, rain, and heat, while also insulating and protecting the interior from temperature fluctuations and moisture. The building envelope is an essential element of building design, as it plays a crucial role in energy efficiency, durability, and indoor air quality.
