Facades for Repositioning: Challenges & Opportunities Roundtable

What does it actually take to convert an aging office building into residential and get it right? At Facades+ Washington D.C., Adrian Lowenstein sat down with Jason Glatt (AWI), Rebecca Frisch (Post Brothers), and Brad Carpenter to talk through the realities of deep energy retrofits and office-to-residential conversions from three angles: the glazing contractor, the owner-developer, and the facade engineer. They covered what makes a building worth pursuing, how early condition assessments separate opportunities from constraints, why D.C.'s building stock from the 60s, 70s, and 80s is uniquely positioned for this wave of conversions, and what it means to balance energy code compliance with embodied carbon when the smartest move isn't always the newest product. Plus: what triggered the finding that 1940s rolled steel windows with an interior storm can outperform a modern thermally broken IGU - and why that changed everything on one federal building. facadesplus.com #facadesplus #architectsnewspaper allthingsfacadesgroup.com
