The “Joint Task Group” is a task group of the Joint Committee on Building Science Education and the NIBS/BETEC Education Committee. The Joint Task Group is comprised of building science experts and professors developing the teaching resources and other materials to support the teaching of building science in universities and colleges.
___________________________
Priority Near Term Joint Task Group Projects
– Request for input and side meetings
Hygrothermal Analysis Guide overview (focus on RTZ audience)
Modules for infusion of building science into traditional courses, overview (input for slides/graphics, message flow, peer review)
Task Group Next Steps – address tentative schedule/actions
- Scheduling of work on guide and modules
- Peer Review
- Testing guide and modules in classroom setting
- Adaptation of guide and modules as an input to BSE Solution Center
