Winner of the Hanley Award for Vision and Leadership in Sustainable Housing and founder of BuildingGreen, Alex Wilson, along with company president, Nadav Malin, will present a one-hour online seminar for builders on smart window selection. Wilson and Malin will explain various features and advantages of using high-performance windows. The two sustainable building experts also will give advice on weighing factors like cost, durability, performance, comfort, and aesthetics when making decisions on what windows to specify in your next residential or commercial project.

In addition to basic glazing options, the webinar will cover specific considerations for reviewing products and manufacturers. These include:

  • Understanding National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) ratings—such as U-value, VT, and SHGC—and using them to identify appropriate windows for climate and orientation.

  • Determining the value of ultra-efficient windows, plus the difference between North American and European offerings.

  • Vetting manufacturers through window selection resources, such as GreenSpec's customer ratings.

The live webinar takes place at 2 pm Eastern Daylight Time on June 19. There’s no cost for the session and registration is open now.
