2006 Portland BEC Symposium
This two-day symposium will explore the state of the art of building science and the sustainability of current materials and enclosure designs.
December 2006 Monthly Meeting
This will be a follow up meeting to the first Eco-Roof meeting. This program will be a panel of suppliers and subcontractors discussing Green/Eco Roofs. Each panel member will discuss where we are today, the learning curve we have gone through and the direction we are heading.

March 2007 Monthly Meeting
This month's meeting will focus on using and deploying data loggers to monitor the performance of building enclosure assemblies. A brief overview of the generally available technology will be provided and the presenters will describe several projects where data logging is being used to address questions regarding building performance. As important as knowing that you can gather the data is understanding why you might want to and what you can do with the data once you have it. Three presenters will speak about data logging in reference to different areas.
April 2007 Monthly Meeting
The April meeting will explore two different methods for safeguarding your building against water intrusion problems. These solutions are integrated into the design of the building. The two technologies work differently but serve similar purposes. Electronic Field Vector Mapping can be used to confirm and then locate breaches in waterproofing membranes. The technology enables a quick and focused resolution to a problem.
2007 Seminar
This presentation is an interactive discussion of glazing systems ranging from a punched window to monumental tension glass walls. The conversation will weave through storefront systems incorporating common stick built curtain wall and custom designed unitized walls. We will cover water management concepts, anchorage methods and how these systems accommodate the critical building movements. Bring your questions and stories for an informative and useful discussion.
