Symposium Overview

As ever-stricter performance and sustainability targets are established for the built environment, members of the design and construction industry must work together to reduce the energy demands of new and existing buildings. We aim to produce and retrofit exciting, beautiful buildings – and at the same time achieve and even exceed energy code requirements. How does balancing these goals impact the design process? What new tools for problem solving are available to assist in navigating code requirements? Wagdy’s lessons on the control of heat, air, and moisture are ever more important in practice today. In this year’s symposium we will explore successful approaches to meeting these aspirations.

About the Building Enclosure Council

The Boston Building Enclosure Council (B-BEC) is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to promote technical excellence in the design and construction of the building enclosure. B-BEC is led by architects and building enclosure experts, to provide a forum where members of the design and construction industry can discuss common issues and share information on materials and methods, with the goal of promoting the well-informed application of building science to construction of commercial and residential buildings. We support this mission through monthly meetings and periodic special events, featuring panels, presentations, discussions and related activities.
