Description

This presentation takes a look at the brief history of commissioning to help the BEC determine what course of action it could take to prepare its membership for achieving professional status as commissioners of the building enclosure. NIBS has charted a course in developing: NIBS Guideline 3-2006 Exterior Enclosure Technical Requirements for the Commissioning Process that breaks new ground in a field driven by traditional commissioning methods. In this era of Integrated Design, placing a premium on public/private partnerships and Teams with a common goal makes sense as we move toward meeting the 2030 challenge and addressing climate change. The train has left the station but who is out there laying the track? ALL ABOARD!
