The morning seminars closed out GlassBuild America’s educational offerings. The Building Integrated Photovoltaic’s session was standing room only and attendees heard some amazing statistics about the continued growth of Solar materials.  The other two seminars, Decorative Design process and Performance Window & Door specifications were also well attended and featured very lively and beneficial dialogue.
