Driving High Performance Buildings from Foundation to Rooftop

What It's About

This program, presented and sponsored by Amrize, examines advanced building solutions that support material transparency, energy efficiency and resilient design in residential and multifamily buildings. Explore how envelope performance enhances HVAC efficiency, reduces thermal load, and supports occupant comfort, while material selection strategies address embodied carbon and indoor air quality through EPD's and low-emitting materials. We'll also highlight emerging innovations such as AI-optimized building materials along with resilient solutions including high solar reflectance and waterproofing coatings, green roofs, and water capture systems. Together, these strategies demonstrate how thoughtful design decisions improve environmental performance, resource efficiency, and occupant experience from foundation to rooftop.
