A Miracle Material and What Building Owners are Thinking - James Satterwhite & Janelle Penny - Episode 7

In this special two-guest episode, the CEO of Advanced Glazings, James Satterwhite talks about how the miracle material, aerogel, has allowed translucent glazings to achieve insulation levels that are comparable to opaque walls. This is vitally important because architects can continue to create large glass facades that bring in lots of natural light, provide those critical views to building occupants, and still meet building energy codes. Then, Joe interviews Janelle Penny, the Editor-in-Chief of Buildings Magazine. Janelle shares the steps that building owners are taking to entice their workers to get back to the office post COVID-19. There is also an important discussion about how owners view modern building codes and how these codes could lead architects to design buildings differently.
