These Webinars are co-hosted by the NIBS/BETEC Education Committee and the Joint Committee on Building Science Education.
To focus on important opportunities for building science education, the Joint Committtee on Building Science Education and the NIBS/BETEC/Education Committee have formed a “Joint Task Group” which has played a large role in these webinars and smaller web meetings. See the “Joint Task Group” webpage for recent building science education efforts. Recent web conference calls have addressed the development of a “Hygrothermal Analysis Guide” to support the DOE Race to Zero Student Design Competition.
Objectives/Background for the Current Series of Webinars:
