2016 BEC/COTE July Session
Effective Building Enclosure Testing

Date/Time: Friday, July 15 from 11:30 am - 1 pm
Location: Piedmont Natural Gas Headquarters
Cost: $25 per person (1 AIA LU|HSW)

This presentation focuses on mock-up and field functional performance testing (FPT) within the context of Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx). Although FPT is one of the most critical segments of BECx, it is often one of the most overlooked and misunderstood. Through an effective FPT program, the objectives of a comprehensive BECx program can be effectively evaluated and verified.
