The American Institute of Architects has just approved the “Building Enclosure Science & Technology Conference (BEST3) for 18 continuing-education unit (CEU) credits in health, safety, welfare and sustainable design. The BEST3 Conference, being held in Atlanta, Georgia, April 2-4, 2012, at the Westin Peachtree Plaza, will present training sessions in three tracks – Energy Efficiency, Whole Building and Fenestration. The Institute’s Building Enclosure Technology and Environment Council (BETEC) and the Building Enclosure Council (BEC)-Atlanta co-host the BEST3 Conference to delve into building systems that deliver high energy efficiency, good indoor climate, and long-term performance. Twenty-two sessions will provide more than 70 peer-reviewed papers and give attendees the rare opportunity to fulfill their AIA member requirements for earning 18 CEUs per year in just 3 days.
In addition to the valuable CEUs, the BEST3 Conference will give attendees exclusive access to the award-winning, iconic High Museum of Art by Richard Meier and its equally prestigious addition by Renzo Piano during a dinner hosted by BEC-Atlanta and sponsors, the Sto Corp. and Georgia-Pacific. A lecture by renowned building scientist, R. Christopher Mathis, president of Mathis Consulting Company (MC2), will also be a highlight at this event. Registration for the BEST3 Conference is open and a special offer of 50% off the dinner ticket is in effect until February 29. Visit the Conference website for more information.
