Description

Construction costs are climbing and new building envelope requirements are reshaping every project. Learn how owners, contractors, and designers can stay ahead. Real data, real project insights, and a panel of experts who've done it before. 

Building performance standards are entering a new era. What was once optional—enhanced envelopes, tighter energy criteria, sustainability‑driven design—is quickly becoming required by code. In this one‑hour moderated panel, followed by a networking reception, attendees will learn how evolving building codes are reshaping design decisions, construction sequencing, and project delivery. Using real project examples, the panel will walk through how high‑performance envelope mandates are implemented in practice and what teams need to prepare for as these requirements continue to become the standard.
