Owens Corning (NYSE: OC) will highlight its building science knowledge and expertise during the American Institute of Architects (AIA) A’22 Conference on Architecture, June 23-24 in Chicago. Architects and contractors visiting the Owens Corning booth (908) can explore the future of commercial building design, fire safety, energy efficiency and sustainability.

The first in-person AIA Conference on Architecture since 2019, the gathering provides an opportunity to share building science research and new solutions informing the future of commercial buildings.

“Owens Corning is committed to supporting architects and contractors in achieving high-performing, sustainable commercial buildings,” said Todd Fister, president of Owens Corning’s Insulation business. “Building and construction across sectors and regions has continued to evolve, and as codes and trends advance in support of environmental sustainability efforts, building science and material innovation are informing the future of the industry.”

A growing number of U.S. states and all Canadian provinces have adopted environmental regulations limiting the global warming potential (GWP) of materials used in commercial buildings. Introduced in 2021, FOAMULAR^® NGX™ (Next Generation Extruded) has a low Global Warming Potential blowing agent which demonstrates a greater than 80% reduction in embodied carbon¹. FOAMULAR^® NGX™ was awarded the Manufacturing Leadership Award in 2021 for its outstanding achievement in material science innovation supporting environmental sustainability.
