LIVE WEBINAR · AIA ACCREDITED · 1 LU
📅 June 23, 2026 | 🕙 10:00 AM Pacific / 1:00 PM Eastern | 💻 Microsoft Teams | Free
Join Elemex for a live, 90-minute webinar on how a BIPV rainscreen facade can turn your building envelope into a working power plant — without compromising architectural intent. This session is AIA accredited for 1 Learning Unit, making it a practical continuing-education option for smaller architectural firms where scheduling a full Lunch and Learn isn’t always possible.
What You’ll Learn
- How BIPV rainscreen facades generate clean energy while delivering the rain-control, thermal, and aesthetic performance of a conventional cladding system
- Where a solar facade system fits on the path to Net Zero and Zero Carbon Building (ZCB) targets — and how it compares to roof-mounted PV
- Design freedom: panel sizes, finishes, and integration with other Elemex systems
- The structural, electrical, and code considerations your team needs to coordinate — and what Elemex handles for you
- Real project case studies, including Genentech: energy yield, payback, and lessons learned
- Live Q&A with the Elemex engineering team
Who Should Attend
This webinar is open to everyone, and is especially valuable for architects, facade consultants, sustainability leads, developers, and building owners exploring solar-integrated facades on commercial, institutional, and multi-residential projects.
About Solstex® Solar Facade System
Solstex® by Elemex integrates high-performance photovoltaic technology directly into a proven rainscreen cladding system. The result is a building integrated photovoltaic facade that generates renewable energy and meets the rigorous performance demands of the modern building envelope — all within a single, architecturally refined assembly.
Real-World Results: The Genentech Project
During the session, we’ll walk through the Genentech installation — one of our largest and most recent BIPV rainscreen facade projects — to show how the system performs in the field, from measured energy yield to projected payback.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BIPV rainscreen facade?
A BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) rainscreen facade integrates solar power generation directly into the building envelope. It delivers the rain-control, thermal, and aesthetic performance of a conventional rainscreen cladding system while generating clean, renewable energy — all in a single assembly like the Solstex® Solar Facade System.
Is the webinar free to attend?
Yes. “Harnessing the Sun” is completely complimentary. Simply register in advance to receive your join link.
Does this webinar qualify for AIA continuing education credit?
Yes. This webinar is AIA accredited and eligible for 1 Learning Unit (LU). It’s a convenient continuing-education option for architects and smaller firms who can’t always schedule an in-person Lunch and Learn.
Will the webinar be recorded?
Yes. A recording will be shared with all registrants after the event, so you can revisit the content or watch it later if you can’t attend live.
Who should attend?
The session is ideal for architects, facade consultants, sustainability leads, developers, and building owners exploring solar-integrated facades on commercial, institutional, and multi-residential projects.
