The future of high-performing buildings is in the hands of evolving codes and standards. Join us for this presentation where we'll explore key aspects of high-performance building enclosures that meet the latest energy standards where thermal bridging mitigation is required. This presentation will provide valuable insights into evolving energy standards and strategies to prepare for future changes in building envelope requirements. Participants will learn best practices for reducing thermal bridging and optimizing building envelope designs. We’ll also identify innovative techniques for designing sustainable and durable facades, including materials and methods to improve the longevity and environmental performance of building exteriors. Don’t miss this opportunity to stay at the forefront of building design and envelope performance!
