Panasonic Industry to Present ADVANC-R® at AIA Conference on Architecture & Design 2026, Expanding Options for High-Performance Roofing Design

NEWARK, N.J., May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic Industry ("Panasonic"), will exhibit ADVANC-R®, its advanced vacuum insulation panel (VIP) technology, at the AIA Conference on Architecture & Design 2026 in San Diego, June 10–13, at Booth #832. Panasonic will showcase how ADVANC-R helps architects, specifiers, and building teams solve one of commercial roofing's toughest design challenges: achieving high thermal performance when roof height and profile are limited.

Built for today's energy-conscious building envelope, ADVANC-R delivers an industry-leading panel R-Value of 66 in a slim 0.94-inch (24 mm) profile. Powered by Panasonic's patented Fiber Layer Arrangement Technology (FLAT), the solution helps reduce thermal conductivity while giving project teams greater flexibility in reroofing, retrofit, and new construction applications where every inch matters.

"Architects are being asked to do more with less space while still meeting aggressive performance expectations," said Jerry Coriano, Senior Product Manager, Food Chain and Building Products Division, Panasonic Industrial Devices Sales Company of America. "ADVANC-R helps teams meet demanding energy goals with a low-profile roofing solution that supports design freedom, code compliance, and smarter use of building space."

ADVANC-R is designed to help building professionals satisfy more stringent energy code requirements without overbuilding the roof assembly. Key advantages include:

• Panel R-Value of 66 in a compact 0.94-inch profile
• Strong fit for reroofing projects with height or profile restrictions
• Space-efficient design that helps maximize interior volume in new construction
• Certified by Intertek ETL, Factory Mutual (FM), and UL
• Listed in MasterSpec to help streamline specification
• Made with non-toxic, environmentally friendly materials

By combining high thermal performance with an ultra-thin footprint, ADVANC-R gives architects and engineers a practical path to balancing sustainability goals, constructability, and usable space. The technology is especially valuable for upgrades to existing commercial buildings, where structural constraints can make conventional insulation approaches more difficult to implement.

AIA26 attendees are invited to visit Panasonic Industry's exhibit at Booth #832 to learn how ADVANC-R can support next-generation roofing systems for commercial buildings. Panasonic representatives will be available to discuss application considerations, performance benefits, and how the technology can help address evolving design and energy-efficiency priorities.
