BEST 1: Building for Energy Efficiency and Durability at the Crossroads
The first biennial international conference on Building Enclosure Science and Technology took place at the Minneapolis Convention Center, Minneapolis, MN on June 10-12, 2008 hosted by Building Enclosure Council BEC-Minnesota.
Future conferences will be hosted by other Building Enclosure Councils in the US and will be held on alternating years to the Canadian NBEC conferences, to allow collaboration between the US and Canadian building communities.
BEST 1 is organized by BETEC's BEC-National Research Coordinating Committee (RCC) with the collaboration of:
- Heat Air and Moisture RCC
- Fenestration RCC
- BEC Minnesota
The conference is carrying out BETEC's mission in exploring the advancement of the energy efficiency of buildings as well as the durability of buildings as affected by moisture and the indoor environment.
Thank you to all the attendees and participants who made BEST 1 a success!
