JOIN BETEC!

The Building Enclosure Technology and Environment Council (BETEC) is a voluntary membership organization of the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS). BETEC is charged with encouraging optimum energy use of buildings through a better understanding of how overall, complex building components interact with each other and with the environment.

Objectives:

  • To develop a sound technical and economic foundation for optimum energy efficiency in the design, construction, operation, and modification of new and existing buildings through the coordination of research, development, and verification programs;

  • To expedite the use of existing and new technologies in building practice through improved coordination of the activities of the various components of the building community; and

  • To integrate technical programs on fire safety and thermal comfort with the thermal performance of building envelopes.

Members:

BETEC brings together a cross-section of public and private building community leaders to solve major energy-related regulatory and technical issues. Its membership is comprised of:
