We invite you to our next live webinar, which will focus on the energy performance, fire safety and carbon footprint of exterior wall assemblies. This free one-hour webinar, which includes a 15-minute question period, will earn you one continuing education unit!
Please join us on November 18th at 1 p.m. (ET)!
With evolving regulatory requirements, the energy and environmental performance of wall assemblies is taking centre stage in the minds of designers, both in new construction and in building renovations. Each project being unique, the constraints with which professionals must deal are as numerous as they are varied.
This webinar will introduce you to the latest developments in terms of the energy performance of exterior wall assemblies from SOPREMA’s Build Better program, the changes to the SOPREMA CAN/ULC-S134 listing, as well as the innovative tools and data available to support your designs. Beyond thermal performance and fire safety, the webinar will focus on the carbon footprint of buildings. We will see how the choices made at the design stage make it possible to reduce the embodied and operational carbon footprint without sacrificing any objectives of a project.
Register now to explore these new features can help you build more efficient and sustainable building envelopes.
