AI is transforming BIPV façade design, from real‑time solar forecasting and smart control to parametric, adaptive skins that balance energy yield, thermal comfort and daylight. Recent case studies at the Advanced Building Skins Conference show how AI‑driven BIPV solutions significantly improve building performance and user comfort.

Facade and Building Jobs is not just another job board. In this article, I explain why the Facade Today community led naturally to a dedicated career platform for façade and building professionals, how it responds to real recruitment challenges, and what it can offer to both candidates and employers in our niche sector.

Performance-Based Façade Design 2026 returns to Venice this September with a programme focused on durable façades, long-term serviceability, and real building performance in use. The conference will bring together façade engineers, consultants, architects, manufacturers, and building owners for two days of technical sessions and case studies on resilience, life-cycle performance, and maintainability. Delegates can expect keynote speakers from leading international firms, in-depth presentations on performance-based design methods, and practical insights on testing and standards, with a strengthened link to ASTM and harmonised façade performance criteria.
