Behind the Materials: How ZS2 Is Rethinking Building Performance From the Inside Out
Join us for an onsite tour inside ZS2 Technologies’ manufacturing facility, where material science, offsite construction, and climate-resilient design come together. This behind-the-scenes tour explores how ZS2 develops and manufactures magnesium cement–based panelized building systems that are changing how we think about efficiency, durability, and risk in the built environment.
The tour draws from recent real-world performance lessons, including a ZS2 panelized project in northern Manitoba that made national headlines after withstanding a wildfire. We’ll unpack what that kind of performance actually means at the material and manufacturing level, and how those insights translate into smarter, more efficient construction solutions designed to last longer, perform better, and reduce uncertainty for builders, owners, and communities.
What attendees will get out of this tour
A behind-the-scenes view of how advanced building materials are manufactured at scale in Alberta
Insight into how wildfire performance data is informing next-generation material and panel design
A practical look at panelized construction as a tool for improving on-site efficiency, manufacturing consistency, and long-term durability
Direct access to the ZS2 team for technical questions and real-world discussion
