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.
