Beyond the Frame: How High-Performance Fenestration Expands Design Possibility
This session explores how adopting a whole-building design mindset, with a focus on high-performance fenestration, can unlock new flexibility for project teams. Rather than viewing windows and doors as constraints, high-performance fenestration can be leveraged as design enablers that contribute to thermal efficiency, visual appeal, and user comfort—while also supporting cost-effective compliance with evolving energy mandates.
