“What is that?”

Agent Smith Group leads with Elemex at the AASBO Conference

The Onyx Intense Green Solstex® panel that stopped the show floor.

At the Arizona Association of School Business Officials (AASBO) Annual Conference — fittingly themed “The Greatest Show in Education” — our partners at Agent Smith Group (ASG) put Elemex front and center for the K-12 market.

What they did

Matt and Brendan Smith built a functional Elemex mock-up at their booth as part of a full building-enclosure story. The standout was an Intense Green Solstex® BIPV panel that consistently stopped attendees cold with a simple “What is that?” — the perfect opener for a conversation about turning a school’s facade into a clean, energy-producing surface.

What the market told us

• Strong interest in Solstex® and Ceramitex® as cladding for public education facilities
• School district reps were drawn to pairing renewable energy with a modern architectural look — especially given Arizona’s year-round sun
• A well-attended session on roof maintenance & inspection tracking reinforced how top-of-mind enclosure performance is for K-12 facility teams
