Webinar Rapid Recovery: Western North Carolina Industrialized Construction Tech Hub’s Response to Hurricane Helene

Tuesday, October 7 | 2:00 PM Central
Rob Howard, Ankur Dobriyal

Hurricane Helene caused significant damage to Western North Carolina. NC Office of State Management and Budget estimates that between 121,000 and 132,000 homes have been damaged due to Helene and roughly 12,000 people were estimated to still be displaced from the storm in early January 2025. This amplified the already existing shortage of good quality housing in the region. We now face the dual challenge of quickly developing affordable high-performance housing that also includes resilience against extreme weather events. To address this, ADL Ventures and Howard Building Science convened a consortium of regional Council of Governments, Developers, Builders, Prefabricators and Academia called ‘Western NC Industrialized Construction Tech Hub’. Through collaboration and recent industrialized construction (IC) projects in the region (Duke Street Cottages and Hickory Grove), the group secured a donated parcel of land to highlight IC deployment speed, aesthetic diversity, and act as a “how-to” guide for other regional developers. Our presentation will go into depth on the setup, execution, and learnings from these IC projects.  We will also discuss how high-performance construction can also be disaster resilient (FORTIFIED™) housing for vulnerable populations. These projects used a variety of industrialized construction methods; Modular, panelized, and hybrid. This presentation will showcase the importance of collaborative partnerships in creating sustainable, affordable, and resilient housing solutions in rural America.

Learning Objectives:

1. Need of the hour: Nexus of industrialized construction, disaster resilient and high performance homes
2. Getting community buy in through consortium building, data collection and shared responsibilities
3. Documentation of planning and execution process for replicability and scaling using ‘how-to’ playbooks
4. Case studies: High performance, IC-based neighborhoods

Webinar Transform Your Projects with Panelized Construction

Tuesday, July 15 | 2:00 PM Central
Todd Bell, Loren Groesch

Learn how to elevate your designs and streamline construction with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)—sustainable, high-performance building systems. When you take this course, you'll learn how SIPs used in residential and commercial projects integrate six critical structural and thermal components into a single precision-engineered panel. You'll also learn how to easily adapt SIPs into your designs and construction processes to deliver the following project benefits: 

• Enhance Efficiency: Cut heating and cooling costs dramatically with superior insulation. 
• Expand Design Potential: Utilize longer spans, maximize conditioned space, and push creative boundaries 
• Build Faster: Complete projects in half the time compared to stick framing, and combat skilled labor challenges 
• Increase ROI: Achieve quicker occupancy and faster project turnovers. 
• Create Stronger, More Resilient Structures: Fire resistant, seismic and hurricane zone approved and clean air certified, delivering superior environments with your projects. 
• Focus on High Performance Energy Efficient Building Design: Naturally 60% more energy efficient than traditional code approved assemblies, SIPs enable extreme energy savings and reduced operational costs for years to come. Learn how SIPs are an incredible path to sustainability.  

Learning Objectives  

• Discover different types of offsite construction and the benefits of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) in today's design and building environments. 
• Learn how SIPs can solve labor shortages and improve construction efficiency. 
• Understand how SIPs offer exceptional energy efficiency and durability. 
• Explore the basics of designing and building with Structural Insulated Panels, to understand how to get started working with SIPs.
