This presentation will provide a background on where we are going as far as trends in the term “green building”. Over the past 15 years, the built industry has been moving in a direction to understand and create stronger, longer-lasting structures while considering environmental impact. The term that has been most used over this time is “Green building” – well the thought process is evolving, and we are now thinking more in terms of science and facts. The terms more widely used now, and which provide a more specific focus, are sustainability and now resiliency … these terms, in my opinion, have more meaning than just saying green building. So let me provide you with an overview of this trend and what it means for our industry, the polymeric cladding industry.
