NRMCA, Build With Strength Discuss Zero Energy Schools Before Connecticut Audience

NRMCA Senior Director, Building Innovations, Frank Mruk presented Zero-Energy Schools: How Innovative Concrete Systems are Making it Possible at the AIA Connecticut Architecture Conference + Expo (CACX’23) in Groton, CT, late last month. The presentation was designed to showcase how zero energy construction, utilizing ICF concrete systems in conjunction with other energy-saving strategies, can make a building as energy efficient as possible.

CACX’23 is the premier continuing education and networking event for the AEC industry in Connecticut. With over 300 attendees (some seen here), CACX'23 serves as an excellent platform for learning, networking and collaboration within the New England region. The Expo at CACX'23 presented an excellent opportunity for industry partners and professionals such as the Connecticut Concrete Promotion Council's Dom DiCenzo and Nudura's Ken Lynch, who both served as sponsors, to showcase marketing materials, provide demonstrations and engage with attendees.

Paolo Campos (Patriquin Architects, Yale professor, and president of AIA CT) hosted an architects' “coffee and concrete” site visit for his net zero ready ICF slate school project in New Haven earlier this year.

The Build With Strength program is a leader in supporting New England architects at the cutting edge of industry best practices. For more information, contact Frank Mruk at fmruk@nrmca.org.
