All Things Facades

Missing the Forest for the Trees featuring Eliot Benor


Listen Later

In this episode of All Things Facades Podcast featuring Eliot Benor (BET), we tackle one of the biggest issues in building science: how focusing too much on details can cause us to miss what truly matters in building performance.

Eliot unpacks the evolution of today’s energy codes, why real-world thermal testing is becoming essential, and the growing disconnect between modeling assumptions and actual field conditions.

We also dig into the realities of prefabrication, electrification, and what it really takes to maintain technical rigor in the industry.

A focused, candid conversation on why the future of façade engineering depends on balancing technology with experience—and seeing the whole system, not just the parts.
