BuiltWorlds Buildings 2.0 Conference Imagines the Future of High-Performance Buildings

The BuiltWorlds Buildings 2.0 Conference took place this past week at UI Labs in Chicago. Ozinga co-sponsored the event, dedicated to exploring the intelligence of high-performance buildings.

Real estate executives, architects, engineers, construction professionals, and tech experts came together to network and learn about the promising future of Buildings 2.0. Attendees were treated to keynote addresses and fireside chats about innovative building materials, emerging tech in the multi-family real estate space, and new horizons in the world of distribution.

The conference also included a kick-off reception where BuiltWorlds’ Building Tech 50 winners were recognized. Honorees included ThoughtWire, Polysolar, BamCore, SkyCentrics, Emagispace, Sensus, EverCharge, and SolarCity to name a few.

The Tech 50 list features leading companies in the smart buildings landscape, with each offering innovative solutions in the areas of asset management, building envelopes, high-performance materials, HVAC and energy systems, interiors, lighting, mobility, roof systems, tenant services, and water systems.

In between meetings, conference-goers could also visit several exhibitors on the showroom floor. Ozinga had a booth onsite, as well as HelixRE, ICONICS, SFS, and the American Institute of Steel Construction.

Eric Lindquist, PE President of Adjustable Forms Concrete Construction, along with Matthew Nazarenko with GCP – Verifi both participated in panel discussions during the conference and mentioned their work with Ozinga on developing new concrete mixes and technologies.

Thanks to all who attended the Buildings 2.0 Conference and chatted with us at our booth!
