EVENT THEME
Detailing High-Performance Facades: Strategy, Specifications, and Advanced Cladding Materials
Today’s high-performance facade standards require the deft balancing of aesthetics, technical detailing, and the demands of the client and local building regulations. This workshop will discuss both material and technical solutions to meet those standards. Experts will be on hand to lead tutorials on the most recent innovations in rainscreen cladding, sealant solutions, and much more. Attendees will leave with a greater knowledge of material applications at the cutting-edge of energy performance and code compliance, all while learning of attractive solutions for clients and end users.
Agenda

This course covers the fundamentals of rainscreen systems, including their purpose and benefits. It highlights the advantages of using porcelain as a cladding material, such as water and fire resistance, and sustainability. Participants will learn about designing with cladding, optimizing installation, and understanding cladding systems, components, detailing, and building science. The course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of porcelain cladding systems and their applications.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the benefits and function of ventilated facades
- Recognize the advantages of porcelain as a cladding material
- Explore various cladding systems
- Learn efficient panel layouts for labor economy

Architects have always pushed the limits of what building products can do, and fire rated glazing is no exception. This program shows how fire rated glazing has evolved from small doorlites and openings using wired glass and ceramics to floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall, multi-tasking fire resistive glazing systems. Case studies showing these innovative design applications in real-word settings will be used to show participants how architects continue to push the boundaries of what fire rated glass can do.
Learning Objectives
- Review updated IBC and fire and safety requirements when designing for life safety
- Provide you with the latest fire rated glazing product information
- Clarify the difference between fire protective vs. fire resistive glazing products as it relates to protecting people and property
- Identify the correct, code-approved glazing products based on the application
