    What It's About

    As homes become more connected and sustainable, the building envelope is shifting from a passive shell to an active, intelligent system. Dive into cutting-edge technologies being integrated into walls, windows, and insulation—like dynamic glazing, photovoltaic cladding and sensor-based moisture management. Through real-world examples and lessons from early adopters, explore how smart materials improve energy performance, reduce maintenance issues and future-proof assets. Leave with a clearer understanding of what’s possible today, what’s practical to implement, and what’s next in high performance, tech-enabled envelopes—plus the tools to make informed choices without sacrificing efficiency, durability, or the bottom line.

    What You’ll Learn

    • Identify emerging smart materials transforming the building envelope.
    • Understand practical applications and integration challenges.
    • Gain insight into future trends shaping high performance building.
