NFRC to exhibit at AIA

The NationalFenestrationRatingCouncil, Greenbelt, Md., will exhibit during the American Institute of Architects 2010 National Convention and Design Exposition at the Miami Beach Convention Center, June 10-12, according to a June 4 release.

The AIA has chosen the theme, “Design for the New Decade” for the convention. This is based on the organization's stance that as a new decade begins in the 21st century, architects and design professionals continue to navigate through a difficult economic climate while rising to the challenges of creating livable communities and contemplating how the next 10 years could revise the traditional ways that they practice architecture.

During the convention, there will be more than 200 workshops and presentations. Topics will include business planning, zero net energy design, and building codes. Additionally, the AIA Miami has extended learning opportunities beyond the convention center by arranging more than 70 educational tours that explore the diversity of the city’s architecture, according to the release.

The exhibit hall will be open from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. June 10 andJune 11 and from 8:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. on June 12. The AIA expects approximately 800 exhibitors to be on hand.
