The Window and Door Manufacturers Association (WDMA) is holding its inaugural National Architectural Door Conference this April.

Preceding the Door and Hardware Institute (DHI) Convention on April 29 in Baltimore, Maryland, the one-day event will include the results of the 2015 “Architectural Door U.S. Market Study,” as well as the updated architectural door product category rules (PCRs), and the new developments in the sustainability and standards arenas impacting architectural door manufacturers and suppliers.

“With the architectural door market projected to grow 22 percent in 2015, the National Architectural Door Conference will be the first to focus solely on this growing market,” said WDMA president Michael O’Brien. “Attendees will learn about the latest developments impacting architectural door production, how the industry is meeting sustainability challenges, and how emerging standards will impact architects and specifiers.”

Featured presentations include:

• “Commercial/Multi-family Building Outlook,” by Ken Simonson, chief economist at Associated General Contractors of America (AGC);
• “The 2015 Architectural Door U.S. Market Study: Findings and Outlook,” by Andrew McCoy, assistant director of The Myers-Lawson School of Construction (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University [Blacksburg, Virginia]); and
• “LEED v4 and the Material Resource Credits: Opportunities and Challenges for the Architectural Door Industry,” by Heather Gadonniex, director of business development built environment at PE International.
