Description
Tuesday, November 28, 2023 | 12pm ET
From the beginning of the glass selection process, architects face a lot of options, from the glass substrate and coatings to fabrication. Fabrication can play an important role in aesthetics and performance—and creating a safe environment for occupants. This CEU will help architects understand fabrication as a step in the total glassmaking process—and how fabrication choices and considerations play a role in making design vision a reality. Upon completion, participants will be able to understand the vital role of fabrication in glass for commercial façades, know how fabrication factors into today’s glass trends, be able to identify ways fabrication can help achieve project goals for energy performance, safety and security, and design vision, as well as be able to navigate fabrication choices and requirements.
