WORKSHOP: Stop Throwing Building Performance Out the Window
18 Mar 2026
AIA CES WORKSHOPS
Architecture & Design (Workshop 1)
With up to 60% of a building’s energy loss occurring through windows and openings, this session delivers a science backed checklist for designing and installing high-performance windows and window framing systems. Learn how to minimize thermal bridging, maintain thermal alignment, eliminate air and moisture infiltration, and achieve measurable efficiency gains — all while meeting ASHRAE 90.1 requirements, voluntary certification programs, and emerging stretch codes to future-proof your designs and maximizing sustainability, occupant health, safety, and welfare while enhancing long-term building value.
