R+T 2012 – Stuttgart, Germany

The R+T Expo is the world’s largest tradeshow and conference for the roller shutter, doors/gates and sun protection system industries. For the next 5 days, industry leaders will be partaking in what I’ve been told is the ‘Conference of Conferences’. There are 9 halls and over 100,000 square metres of floor space – which is massive compared to the North American tradeshow standard. There will be nearly a dozen events held concurrently and many other special show features. Starting from the massive booths to the thought leaders that will be in attendance, the R+T Expo will help foster innovation to another level.

Facades Design & Delivery: International Case Studies – Climate/Envelope/Energy Performance Innovations from Europe

As the 2nd Annual Facades Design and Delivery Conference came to a close last month, I recently came across an excerpt of an interview between Amber Scorah of Construction IQ and Mark Perepelitza an Associate Partner at ZGF Architects. It was a great interview showcasing how Europe is ahead of the curve when it comes to designing energy-efficient and high performing buildings.
