"Balancing Aesthetics and Sustainable Design to Maximize Profitability
IQPC’s Sustainable Façade and Design Engineering Conference is the 3rd event in our series of global façade engineering events. This conference will review the most recent in sustainable design including hydroponically grown vegetation and rainwater, highlight the interest in Green Buildings and innovation, how to compete with other countries who are implementing such designs to their construction projects and up-to-date information on emerging technology as it rapidly changes. Joins us as we explore the newest in façade engineering.

Learn from esteemed Partners, Principals and Developers who have developed
innovative tools and design techniques, including how to:
✔ Integrate desired themes and designs into a sustainable façade
✔ Produce and/or harvest energy, water and other naturally occurring resources through
façade design
✔ Appropriately balance design concepts with energy needs of high rises
✔ Minimize initial cost, therefore shortening payback period of skyscrapers
✔ Choose best design practices to meet climate driven needs
