BSAO Seminar - Empowering Tomorrow: Where Sustainability Meets Energy Efficiency

Join industry leaders, researchers, and innovators for a full day of knowledge-sharing and inspiration, as they explore the technologies, strategies, and designs shaping a more sustainable built environment. This year’s seminar brings together cutting-edge insights on modular and prefabrication advancements, resilient low-slope roofing solutions, and mass timber innovations — all aimed at meeting the challenges of a changing climate.

From forensic perspectives on future-ready roofs to real-world hygrothermal testing of historic retrofits, each session offers actionable takeaways for architects, engineers, building scientists, and policy makers. Explore how thermal demand and peak power considerations influence high-performance enclosures, and discover cost-effective, low-carbon wall assemblies that integrate efficiency and durability.

With a focus on practical applications backed by research and field experience, this event provides the tools, ideas, and connections you need to design and deliver buildings that stand the test of time — both environmentally and economically.
