ABOUT THE BEC
The
National Building Enclosure Council Initiative
The Building Enclosure
Council (BEC) initiative was established by an agreement
between the American Institute of Architects and the
Building Enclosure Technology and Environment Council (BETEC)
of the National Institute of Building Sciences on May 18,
2004.
The stated goal was to have
local AIA components establish at least nine
BECs by May of
2007.
The purpose of the Councils
is to promote and encourage discussion, training, education,
technology transfer, the exchange of information about local
issues and cases, relevant weather conditions, and all
matters concerning building enclosures and the related
science.
