Jun 23, 2021 • 2021 Urban Green Council Conference

Climate, Equity and Health: No More False Choices

9:00 am–1:00 pm

For AIA Brooklyn members, use code NOFALSECHOICES for $10 off.

As we navigate this historic time for climate change, racial equity and public health, the built environment sits front and center. New state and federal climate policies are being enacted, and technologies are starting to be deployed at large scales that could affect outcomes in all three arenas for generations.

Our 2021 conference will investigate ways we can optimize policy and building design to provide sustainable, equitable and healthy outcomes for all.

We’ll explore the benefits and unintended consequences of emerging technologies. And we’ll hear about real-world collaborative solutions that integrate these challenges.

Beneficial properties of UL-FGA include a high strength to density ratio, good insulating value, non-reactivity, volume stability, non-leaching behavior, high porosity and pest-resistance. Additionally, the material is made from 100% recycled glass and has an attractive carbon and energy footprint. This presentation will review the relevant properties of UL-FGA when it is used around the building envelope, application areas, manufacturing process, and various case studies from commercial and residential building projects that have utilized Ul-FGA in design and construction.
