BEC-Iowa May Meeting: Sefaira Training

The Building Enclosure Council of Iowa (BEC-Iowa) is a Nonprofit Corporation that was founded in 2016 to increase awareness of building enclosure design as a critical aspect of the successful construction of buildings and to foster the education of building industry professionals regarding proper design, construction, and maintenance of building enclosures.  BEC-Iowa is an interdisciplinary network of affiliated architects, engineers, consultants, manufacturers, contractors, developers, owners, facility managers, educators, and other interested individuals. The intent is to provide a forum for the construction industry by which all those with an interest in the enclosure (envelope) of commercial, institutional, and residential structures and the related building science can discuss, learn about, and address the common and local issues and science relating to the building enclosure – the exterior systems of buildings that play a critical role in building performance, energy efficiency, and occupant health, comfort and safety.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. You can find more information on the Building Enclosure Council – National’swebsite.
