PGC International
Annual Symposium Focuses on Energy
Efficiency and Protection
The Protective Glazing Council (PGC) International
announced its 2008 Annual Symposium, which will take place November
11-13th at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia. Titled
Protective Glazing in a Green World: Sustainability and Protection,
the Symposium features a variety of presentations and speakers who
address the convergence of protective glazing technologies with the
ongoing green movement of environmentally friendly buildings.
The green movement is gaining momentum around the
globe, said Bill Yanek, Executive Director of PGC International. With
many projects in need of protective glazing to protect future occupants,
our focus with the Symposium is to educate the architectural, government
and building owner communities on methods to achieve a solution that
protects both people and the environment.

PGC International Resources Committee
Scouting New Papers, Presentations,
Videos
The Resources Committee of the Protective Glazing Council
International is currently searching for new reference papers,
educational presentations and videos for publishing on the PGC
International website. The site currently holds a sizeable amount of
information, though portions of its contents have become somewhat
outdated. It is essential that the Council offer and maintain its
quality references.
In efforts to provide accurate and informative
resources, the Committee is soliciting white papers, informational
papers and videos with little blatant marketing, as well as AIA or
CSI-accredited presentations related to protective glazing to be
published on the PGC International website. As the Resources
section of the website is consistently one of the top pages visited by
approximately 60,000 visitors from around the globe, placement of the
papers, articles, presentations and videos can be a useful marketing
tool for research and work performed in the industry.
