All Things Facades Podcast - Facades+ Washington DC Edition

What does the industry actually look like right now - from the estimating desk to the curtain wall shop to the energy code? Recorded live at Facades+ DC, this episode of All Things Facades Podcast brings together seven voices from across the project team for a wide-ranging conversation on AI in estimating, design intent communication, prefabrication, supply chain sustainability, energy compliance, the curtain wall vs. window wall debate, and why the technical side of architecture still doesn't get the attention it deserves. Featuring: ~ Jason Glatt - glazing contractor on AI, rebidding cycles, and domestic vs. offshore glazing ~ Matthew Gifford - design intent, why it breaks down, and what it takes to carry it through construction ~ Thilo Wilhelmsen - prefabrication, data centers, and why speed to enclosure is the new competitive edge ~ Raymond Shelton - YKK AP's vertical integration story and what supply chain control means for sustainability ~ Kevin Louder - where NFRC is headed in the commercial market and the limits of lab-rated performance ~ Brad Carpenter - the curtain wall vs. window wall debate and why bucketing them as products misses the point ~ Gregory Overkamp - construction administration, design liability, and why the technical side of architecture gets overlooked If you work anywhere near a facade, there's something in here for you. facadesplus.com #facadesplus #architectsnewspaper allthingsfacadesgroup.com
