Windows are one of the most important features of a building envelope, allowing us to maintain a connection with the outdoors while we remain comfortable and safe indoors. The window industry has been challenged to deliver see-through products that provide energy efficiency, occupant comfort, safety, beauty and low maintenance. This session will explore the elements of window design for energy performance and look at advancements that have been made to meet ENERGY STAR® target levels for windows and doors.

In Wisconsin, the effects of climate change will likely impact the systems that heat and cool our homes. Taking into account future climate impacts as we design and construct buildings for the next 50 to 100 years will help occupants be better prepared. Passive Buildings play a key role in resilient design by maintaining livable conditions during emergencies, reducing operational costs, and serving as ‘thermal batteries’ that limit strain on the electrical grid. In this session, we'll share impact studies and discuss building resiliency, Passive Building design and peak load savings as a benefit to the electrical grid.
