The region’s only conference dedicated to the design and sustainable construction of cost-effective, iconic façades

Building on the outstanding success of IQPC’s past Façade Design and Engineering Summits across the MENA region, we are delighted to bring to you the 5th Annual Façade Design and Engineering Middle East to be held in Qatar 25 – 26 February 2012.

Façade engineering is often considered to be the highest risk of any project. The exterior envelope of a building acts as a filter protecting the internal space from undesirable elements whilst allowing beneficial elements in. The façade is vital to achieve a habitable internal space.

Minimum performance criteria are set out with legislations and codes which all projects in the Middle East must achieve. Majority of these performance criteria’s are now driven by the need to improve building energy efficiencies and reduce carbon emissions.

Façade specialists have to be equipped with the latest technologies, materials and industry knowledge to ensure continued project success. IQPC has offered façade industry experts the opportunity to learn from their industry leaders, share highly specialised skills and various technological demands of building envelopes built to meet the required Middle East design criteria.

5th Annual Façade Design and Engineering Middle East will bring together senior individuals from developers, architects and consultants from across the region and globally. This essential summit will help you to create a dialogue with local and international industries, and successfully build relationships to ensure world class façades are delivered.
