Costa Kapsis is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Waterloo. Costa’s research lies at the interface between science, engineering and architectural design with an emphasis on energy in buildings and communities, with focus on energy efficiency, solar energy generation and energy transaction in the built environment. Costa will be presenting on the first international BIPV design guidebook.

Anthony Pereira is the Founder of altPOWER a New York City and London based urban renewable energy development and design firm with a focus on BIPV. Anthony's work over the past 30 years has brought many BIPV projects to completion, that firsthand experience places Anthony in a unique position to discuss the evolution of BIPV products, codes and standards. Anthony's presentation will focus on US and international BIPV codes and standards that drive manufacturer's, architect's and engineer's design decisions.
