From Intimidating to Intuitive

Better Building Envelope Design Using Practical Tools to Tackle Thermal Bridging

A hands-on workshop with refreshments & networking

Design high‑performance building envelopes with confidence—not complexity. This focused, practitioner‑driven workshop brings engineers, architects, and specifiers together for an engaging learning experience paired with lunch and dedicated time to connect with your peers.

Through practical, code‑aligned tools and real‑world examples, you’ll learn how to address thermal bridging effectively—without getting lost in unnecessary complexity.

You’ll leave ready to meet NECB 2025, support net‑zero‑ready design, and make smarter envelope decisions faster.
