Summit Specifics
The foundation of every building’s performance begins and ends with the building envelope assembly.
There is simply no other system assembly in residential and light commercial construction as important as the building envelope. The components chosen in every envelope have a direct effect on building efficiency, speed of construction, code compliance, operational energy costs and long term occupant health.
The Summit brings regional experts together for a half day session to education professionals on the latest strategies and considerations for the drawing board (designers) and the job sites (builders). Elevate your projects to unprecedented success by attending the Summit and you can guarantee that your buildings are meticulously designed and constructed with the optimal combination of components, ensuring unparalleled performance for years to come.
