A vented and water control paneling has improved drainage and integrated ventilation air space. The water control paneling may be fabricated with an omnidirectional relief pattern formed on its back surface. The relief pattern spaces the vented and water control paneling away from a structure to which it is secured, thereby providing an omnidirectional drainage plane between the back surface of the paneling and the structure. The omnidirectional drainage plane provides an unimpeded ventilation and drainage path of water and/or water vapor.

In one embodiment, a system comprises a first baseboard element, a second baseboard element, and a spline configured to couple with the first baseboard element and the second baseboard element. In another embodiment, a system comprises a first crown element, a second crown element, and a spline configured to couple with the first crown element and the second crown element. In another embodiment, a system comprises a crown spline, a baseboard spline, and a wall element configured to be coupled with the crown spline and the baseboard spline. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.

A double skin façade (DSF) for a building is disclosed. The DSF has a first façade, a second façade, and a gap extending therebetween. Movement of air is driven in an upward direction toward an upper end of the DSF, causing movement of air contaminants from a lower end of the DSF to the upper end of the DSF, and thereby enhancing the air quality of the street canyon by removing air contaminants from a street level adjacent the building. Also disclosed is a building having a DSF, and a method of enhancing air quality in a street canyon by constructing a DSF on a building.

Modular Construction elements are characterized by a variety of profiles and associated interchangeable components and/or inserts. Together, these structures and components allow the end user to incorporate dissimilar or similar materials having a wide range of thicknesses and geometries into a flanged associated with the construction elements and tailored to its particular profile. Through the use of a unique set of interconnection methods and systems, a relatively small set of elements can be arranged to protect the surfaces of a wide array of interior surface treatments and the intersections of those surfaces. Dimensional material can be configured to provide the desired form of intersection and transition type—e.g., horizontally to horizontally, horizontal to vertically, vertical to vertical, vertically to horizontally, and the like—while at the same time creating and maintaining a sealed, sanitary and watertight condition within a specified area.
