BUILDING ENCLOSURE TRENDS - Design, Energy, & Codes

Presented by AIA Chicago, in concert with ARCHITECT magazine, this program will offer insights to help inform and shape your strategies for maximizing building performance. Led by nationally-recognized construction and design expert Chris Sullivan, you’ll explore topics such as:

• Market drivers for enclosures today
• New design ideas (from old places)
• The BEC movement—10 years later
• For net zero, start with the enclosure
• Codes and standards driving enclosure design, including LCA and EPDs
• Active and interactive facades—not a fad
• Case studies of enclosure design winners (and losers)
