IIBEC Advocacy -

Supporting Building Enclosure Consultants Across North America

Our mission is to influence public policy, improve building performance standards, and ensure fair procurement practices for architectural and engineering (A/E) design professionals.

Key Areas of Focus:

  • Government Advocacy for Building Enclosure Consultants
    Representing the building enclosure industry at all levels of government, promoting legislation and regulations that support high-quality design and construction practices.

     

  • 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
    Advocating for transparency in public procurement processes to ensure qualified professionals are selected based on merit, not lowest cost—protecting the integrity of the design process and the public investment.

     

Questionable Public Procurement?

Have you seen a procurement (RFP, RFQ, Tender, or other bid form) that you believe is flawed?  Let us know so we can engage with local procurement officials while you remain anonymous.
