BECcharleston
The Building Enclosure Council - Charleston was established as a standing committee of the AIA Charleston and part of the National Building Enclosure Council, a joint initiative of AIA and NIBS Building Enclosure Technology and Environment Council. The stated purpose of the BEC is:
- Provide a focus/forum at the local level for those with an interest in the enclosure (envelope) of buildings and the related building science.
- Promote and encourage discussion, training, education, technology transfer, and the exchange of information about local and national issues and cases, relevant weather conditions, etc.
- Initiate and promote cross-disciplinary and cross-responsibility dialogue, laterally between professions, and vertically between designers, consultants, educators, manufacturers, suppliers, fabricators, constructors, building operators, developers, insurors, code officials, etc.
- To facilitate improvements in relation to process; namely inspection, approvals, regulations, standards, liability, etc.
We welcome participation by architects, engineers, contractors, manufacturers, vendors, and anyone interested in exploring the mysteries of the building enclosure in this climate zone.
