WEBINAR | Cracking the Code: Navigating Title 24, WSEC, and Beyond with High-Performance Prefabricated Facades

Energy codes are evolving rapidly, driving major changes in how architects, engineers, and contractors approach building envelope design. From window-to-wall ratios and thermal bridging to the role of prefabrication in achieving high performance, understanding the differences between codes like California’s Title 24, WSEC, Seattle, and Oregon is essential for delivering compliant, efficient, and cost-effective projects.

This webinar brings together expertise in energy codes, facade systems, and prefabrication to explore how design and construction teams can successfully balance performance, cost, and schedule. Attendees will gain practical insights, case studies, and comparative data to guide smarter decision-making for the next generation of high-performance buildings.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Decode Energy Standards: Compare Title 24, WSEC, Seattle, and Oregon energy codes, and understand how AHJ adoption impacts project requirements.

• Facade Design Impacts: Learn how energy codes are reshaping the design of building exteriors, including glazing ratios, insulation strategies, structural connections, and material selection.

• Evaluate Prefabricated Facade Performance: Review comparative data and case studies on precast vs curtain wall systems, including thermal modeling results.

• Leverage Prefabrication for Compliance and Efficiency: Explore how prefabricated systems improve schedule, cost, quality, and sustainability while meeting evolving energy codes.
