2010 Building Envelope Supplier Summit

On November 16, 2010, the U.S. Department of Energy's Commercial Building Energy Alliances (CBEAs) hosted their inaugural Building Envelope Supplier Summit in Chicago, Illinois. The summit provided a forum for commercial building owners, operators, and suppliers to discuss the challenges of using energy-efficient building envelope components—including windows, roofs, and insulation—in retrofit and new building construction. This page provides background on the summit and access to summit presentations.

With nearly 80 building envelope manufacturers in attendance, this was the seventh successful supplier summit hosted by the CBEAs. View information from past supplier summits.

Following are the presentations made at the Building Envelope Supplier Summit. The presentations are available as Adobe Acrobat PDFs.
