In this in-person series of mini-interviews, we explore:

BIPV & Building-Integrated Solar featuring Brian Vaz (Mitrex) — How architects are using photovoltaic façades to meet strict energy requirements without compromising design.
Terracotta’s Modern Comeback featuring Jen Marchesani (Shildan Group) — Why this historic material is now leading sustainability and performance discussions.
Global Fire-Stop Expertise featuring Brad Davis & Sreenivas Narayanan (Siderise) — What the U.S. façade market can learn from international best practices—and how early coordination prevents failures.
Massachusetts Stretch Code featuring Alejandra Menchaca (AIRLIT Studio) — A technical yet practical breakdown of compliance, energy modeling, infiltration testing, and new workflows.
Spandrel Thermal Performance featuring Shu Talun (RDH Building Science) — Why spandrel areas are proving to be one of the biggest gaps between design intent and actual energy performance.
Thermal Bridging in New & Existing Buildings featuring Felipe Francisco (Studio NYL) — How modeling, prescriptive pathways, and real-world constraints shape envelope performance decisions.
The Future of Building Enclosures featuring Marty Wood (The Architect's Newspaper) — Conference insights on collaboration, chaos, and the sustainability-driven evolution of facades+ events.

This episode captures the energy and expertise that make Facades+ one of the most influential gatherings in the industry.
