From the foundation to the highest apex of the roof, the building envelope encompasses all aspects of a building’s structure. A structurally sound building envelope is critical to ensure safety and optimize a building’s life expectancy and reduce reparation costs. At the Building Envelope Science Institute (BESI), our experts train and certify industry professionals using over twenty-five (25) years of building envelope knowledge and field experience.
The Board of Directors and Advisory Board are comprised of industry leaders that have proven themselves in their individual areas of building science expertise. They are dedicated to their fields of practice and the institute that promotes sound practices and technological advancements in the construction industry.
Together, these individuals share a common bond in their desire to reach out through education and solve construction problems as they occur within the industry. These people are on the cutting edge of a rapidly expanding and changing industry that is turning its attention to green building technologies and changing the way construction has been done for years.
Some of these new technologies may be easily incorporated with the older, sound principals of quality construction, while others will challenge the foundational experiences in construction that we have all grown accustomed to. The institute is committed to pushing the learning curve and finding more efficient ways to construct homes and buildings for the benefit of society and the environment, without jeopardizing performance.
