The 2014 Durability + Design Conference will be held at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza. The theme is "Advances in Protective and Aesthetic Technologies for Buildings.” Conference papers are invited. |
Technology topics include those that contribute to building performance, such as air barriers and reflective roof coatings; as well as those designed to provide aesthetics and durability to building substrates, such as sealers, coatings, polished concrete finishes, fire-resistive materials, and others.
Papers on these topics should focus on the key issues of selecting and specifying the most appropriate materials and installing them according to good technical practice. Other topics of potential interest include emerging surface materials and technologies that contribute to building performance and aesthetics.
Titles and abstracts of 150-250 words are due by Aug. 25 and must be submitted to Harold Hower at hhower@durabilityanddesign.com.
