Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) 1.0 CEU/HSW

August 7 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT

Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx)

As the construction industry evolves, Building Envelope Commissioning (BECx) is emerging as a crucial practice that building owners increasingly recognize for its value across new construction, retrofits, and existing buildings. With rising expectations for weathertightness and energy efficiency, the role of the building envelope in overall performance, operational costs, and occupant wellbeing has never been more critical. In this session, we will explore the foundations of BECx, which adapts the commissioning processes traditionally applied to MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) systems, extending those principles to the building enclosure. Attendees will gain insights into the current state of BECx standards, certifications, and execution practices, which are rapidly evolving. This discussion will address the benefits of integrating BECx into the project to enhance building performance and meet modern energy demands. We will also highlight case studies showcasing successful BECx implementation, emphasizing the benefits of this proactive approach. Join us to deepen your understanding of BECx and equip yourself with the basic knowledge needed for implementation, ensuring your projects not only meet but exceed the growing expectations of building owners and occupants alike.

Learning Objectives:

  1.  Become familiar with the history, goals, and benefits of BECx
  2.  Explore existing BECx standards and references
  3.  Be able to identify BECx acronyms and discuss the role of those tasks
  4. Review the importance of following a disciplined process
