Glass Canada Magazine is hosting its Top Glass 2016 conference in Mississauga, Ont. on April 20.
The gathering, which is geared at the industrial, commercial, and institutional architectural glass industries, will have educational seminars throughout the day that are qualified to give attendees learning credits from the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA)—up to four credits can be earned.
“Top Glass has grown again this year from its very promising start in 2014,” said event manager, Danielle Labrie. “We sold out exhibit space more than two months before the show date and had to add room at the venue. I think the opportunity for architects and architectural technologists to get four learning credits in one day has been a big draw.”
Presentation topics include:
- “Vacuum Insulating Glass: Standards in Engineering Technology” by Bill Lingnell, Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance (IGMA) technical consultant;
- “Window Wall: Fundamental Flaws and Smart Solutions” by Construction Canada author George Torok of Morrison Hershfield (to read Torok’s piece on low-emissivity [low-e] glass, click here);
- “The Longevity Equation: Common Modes of Failure in Insulating Glass Units and What to Do About Them” by Brian Hubbs of RDH Building Science; and
- “Laminar Glass Bonding: Innovations in Non-mechanical Glass Fixation” by Werner Wagner of Sika.
Top Glass 2016 will also feature the presentation of the Ontario Glass and Metal Association’s (OGMA’s) 2015 Award of Excellence for execution and design in the glass building envelope trade.
