At its September 2025 meeting, the IIBEC Board of Directors approved a new mission statement for the renamed IIBEC Technical Activities Committee (TAC). The new mission—to develop technical content related to the building enclosure industry, including advisories, policy statements, guide specifications, guidelines, and other technical documents for approval by the IIBEC Board of Directors—reflects an increased scope for the TAC. The TAC meets bimonthly to consider issues raised by the general IIBEC membership or TAC members.
In the past month, TAC has published a new technical advisory (TA), TA-27-2025, Technical and Safety Considerations When Providing Building Enclosure Consulting Services on Low-Slope Roofs Equipped with Photovoltaic Arrays. The objective of TA-27 is “to provide awareness pertaining to conducting building enclosure consulting work on a building equipped with a photovoltaic (PV) array.” All TAs can be found here and in The Hub.
Any IIBEC member that encounters topics, issues, or concerns is encouraged to notify the TAC for possible advisory development. No topic is too large or small to be considered. Please email Emily Lorenz, PE, F-ACI, IIBEC staff liaison to the TAC, at elorenz@iibec.org.
