Promoting High-Performance Building Codes
Advocating for modern, science-based building codes that enhance energy efficiency, resilience, and occupant safety in commercial and institutional buildings.
Leadership in Industry Standards Development
Participating on key committees within ASHRAE, ASTM, and the International Code Council (ICC) to shape life-safety and performance standards that align with the realities of building enclosure consulting.
Public Awareness and Education
Educating the public and industry stakeholders on the critical role of building enclosure consultants in delivering high-performance buildings that are safe, sustainable, and cost-effective.
Fair Procurement of A/E Design Services
