Mitigating Risk in Offshore Curtain Wall Facade Systems The popularity of offshore glazing systems has risen dramatically in the past few years. They can offer economic advantages on large projects as well as advanced features not available domestically. While the quality and delivery of offshore products can be on-par with the best domestically produced systems, there are companies offering products that don’t conform to domestic standards and codes. Hubbs will discuss the most common advantages and pitfalls of using offshore glazing systems and present his own experiences on projects. The process of using offshore glazing systems is examined from the early planning and selections stages through product manufacturing, testing, and installation.

Form Follows Performance Is it time to do away with preconceived notions about what a project should look like and creating buildings with a signature style? These panelists discuss delivering highly designed buildings —where each project is rooted in context and reflect its specific program. Learn why every building should look the way it does because of how it performs and where it is located.
