Rethinking Facades: From Passive House Codes to Real-World Retrofits ft. Matt Capone & Eliot Benor

What does it really take to build — or rebuild — a high-performance facade that meets today’s Passive House and energy code standards?

In this episode of All Things Facades podcast, Matt Capone from FacadesX and Eliot Benor from BET, break down the evolving world of building envelopes — from structural insulated sheathing and magnesium oxide boards to the realities of retrofits, reclads, and office-to-residential conversions.

We dig into performance-based design, testing, and why expert coordination is key to achieving both efficiency and durability.

This episode is perfect for architects, engineers, and developers looking to stay ahead in the high-efficiency building space.
