Join the Facade Tectonics Institute (FTI) at the GlassBuild America!

SCHEDULE AT-A-GLANCE

The Façade Tectonics Institute (FTI) is bringing its expertise in high-performance façade design to GlassBuild America 2025, joining the Blueprint for Collaboration program - an architect-focused, AIA-accredited education track.

FTI PANEL:
"Face It: The Imperative of Increasing Indoor Thermal Resilience and Façade Thermal Performance"

Tuesday, Nov. 4 | 2:15 – 3:15 PM | GlassBuild Main Stage

Learn how smarter façade strategies can boost building resilience, occupant comfort, and code compliance in the face of climate change and evolving energy standards.

FTI SPEAKERS:

• Edlyn Garcia La Torre, Senior Facade Consultant, Stantec
• Ivan Lee, Senior Building Science Engineer, Stantec
• Erik Olsen, Managing Partner, Transsolar KlimaEngineering

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Understand climate-responsive façade design for high-comfort, low-impact buildings
• Apply thermal resilience metrics to maximize passive survivability during extreme climate events
• Align thermal resilience targets with energy code compliance and occupant comfort
• Interpret 2025 IECC thermal bridging requirements and implications for façade design, window-to-wall ratios, and fenestration performance

Architects can attend Blueprint for Collaboration for free! Use promo code Blueprint25 at registration.
