India's building regulatory framework is entering a new era with the transition from NBC 2016 to NBCS 2026. These landmark changes will influence how façades, fenestration systems and building envelopes are designed, specified and evaluated, making it essential for industry professionals to stay ahead of the evolving guidelines.

Join this insightful webinar to explore the most significant updates introduced in NBCS 2026 and their impact on modern building design. Gain a practical understanding of the latest Indian standards introduced since 2024 and how they align with the new framework for safer and more resilient buildings.

The session will cover key provisions related to Human Life Safety, Fire and Smoke Safety, and the latest classifications of façade and fenestration systems. Participants will gain valuable insights into the application of these guidelines across different building types and project stages.
