SUMMARY:RAiNA Conference 2026 - Weathering the Future: Rainscreen\, Retrofit and Resilience
DESCRIPTION:The Rainscreen Association (RAiNA) presents the 2026 RAiNA Conference\, taking place September 30\, 2026\, in Portland\, Oregon. Bringing together architects\, engineers\, consultants\, contractors\, manufacturers\, and other building enclosure professionals\, the conference offers a full day of technical education\, industry insights\, and networking focused on advancing rainscreen technology and best practices. \nThis year’s theme\, Weathering the Future: Rainscreens\, Retrofit and Resilience\, explores how rainscreen assemblies are helping the building industry respond to evolving performance expectations\, aging building stock\, and a changing climate. Sessions will examine innovative approaches to resilient design\, retrofit strategies that extend the life of existing buildings\, and emerging technologies that improve durability\, energy efficiency\, and long-term building performance. \nDate: Wednesday\, September 30\, 2026 \nLocation: Irving Street Studio\, 907 NW Irving Street\, Portland OR 97209 \nLearn More and Register \nThrough engaging presentations and panel discussions\, attendees will explore topics including rainscreen design and detailing\, retrofit and remediation strategies\, installation best practices\, water management\, fire performance\, sustainability\, and resilient building enclosure design. Every session is carefully selected to provide unbiased\, practical education that equips attendees with knowledge they can immediately apply to their projects.

SUMMARY:Within Tolerance: Why Real-World Cross-Collaboration Matters More in the AI Age 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:As artificial intelligence reshapes workflows across architecture\, engineering\, and construction\, the demand for more sophisticated and adaptable building enclosures continues to grow. Yet\, the built environment remains fundamentally human—designed for people\, shaped by context\, and realized through collaboration. This presentation offers a multidisciplinary perspective\, drawing from the experiences of architects\, contractors\, and owners to examine how real-world\, cross-disciplinary coordination remains essential to delivering high-performance buildings\, even as digital tools become more prevalent. It highlights lessons from projects where human communication—not automation—was the key to maintaining design intent\, continuity\, and constructability. The session explores how to achieve better buildings from start to finish—showing that beyond maintaining assembly and system continuity\, true performance depends on project team continuity. From breaking ground to drying in\, the presentation illustrates how proactive coordination\, clear scope definition\, and interface and goals alignment can prevent the missteps that lead to failure. Emphasis is placed on applying first principles and fundamentals to navigate complex conditions and develop simple\, collaborative solutions. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify critical coordination points that affect enclosure continuity and performance from design through construction.\nDescribe how early\, discipline-wide collaboration mitigates scope gaps and interface failures in enclosure assemblies.\nDiscuss practical strategies for maintaining communication and alignment among project stakeholders.\nApply lessons from field and desk to improve constructability and performance of air\, moisture\, and thermal control layers.\n\nRegister Now \nEnrique Lizardi\, Building Enclosure Consultant – PM – Associate\, BPL Enclosure` \nEnrique Lizardi is a Building Enclosure Consultant at BPL Enclosure\, with a multidisciplinary background in architecture\, construction\, and building science. He earned his degree in Architecture from Universidad La Salle Morelia\, where he began his career in building design and construction. Early mentorship under a professional who bridged architecture and engineering shaped his integrated\, systems-based approach to enclosure performance. \nEnrique’s project experience spans high-rise\, civic\, and commercial developments\, including courthouse facilities in the mountainous regions of Michoacán\, where he coordinated steel wall systems and environmental control layers. After relocating to Atlanta\, Georgia\, in 2018\, he specialized in designing and delivering high-performance cladding assemblies as a subcontractor. Building on that expertise\, he joined BPL Enclosure in 2023 to re-focus on the performance of the entire building enclosure. \nWith experience across climates\, construction roles\, and cultural contexts\, Enrique brings a holistic and practical perspective to enclosure design—emphasizing durability\, constructability\, and building-science-driven performance.
