Web: https://www.buroehring.com/New York City’s carbon reduction goals under Local Law 97, paired with energy and maintenance mandates, are driving a wave of façade modernization across the city. This lecture and panel discussion brings together owners, architects, and engineers to explore real-world re-cladding and over-cladding strategies — balancing code compliance, performance, and design quality.
Through project examples, we’ll examine how building renovations, façade upgrades, and MEP overhauls work in tandem to deliver energy and carbon savings, occupant comfort, and modern aesthetics—all within the constraints of occupied buildings, complex existing conditions, and tight budgets. Blending technical depth with practical experience, this session offers AEC professionals actionable strategies and fresh perspectives on how to tackle building upgrades — from Passive House design and sustainable materials to performance-driven thinking that goes beyond compliance and toward lasting impact.
Dialogues is a lecture series by Büro Ehring, created to spark meaningful conversations at the intersection of architecture, engineering, and sustainability. Each session invites participants to engage in open discussions that transcend disciplinary boundaries.
Bringing together leading voices in design, engineering, and construction, Dialogues explores the pressing issues shaping our built environment — from emerging technologies and sustainability to innovative design approaches and materials.
More than just a lecture, Dialogues is a collaborative forum that fosters real exchange and encourages participants to share insights, learn from real-world experiences, and challenge conventional thinking. With a focus on interdisciplinary communication and learning, Dialogues aims to build a stronger, more connected design community, one conversation at a time.
Join us to learn, share, and shape what comes next, together.
