The Architect’s Experience makes a robust return to METALCON this year with the addition of an opening Keynote Address. Founding Principal of Building Science Corporation, Dr. Joe Lstiburek, presents, “There’s No Such Thing as a Free Thermodynamic Lunch – How Changing Energy Flow Changes Everything” and brings us into the world of energy flow. As the AEC industry significantly improves energy efficiency and moves on from traditional materials there are consequences that need to be addressed. Today’s modern energy efficient buildings have low drying potentials due to their energy efficient products and therefore need low wetting potentials. This session will cover how current practices need to be adjusted to match modern energy efficient products. This session will be held Wednesday morning, October 12 at 8:30 AM and is included with your Total Experience registration.
