Advancing Building Enclosure Technology
Building on the success of the Building Enclosure Science and Technology (BEST6) Conference, join NIBS’ Building Enclosure Technology and Environment Council (BETEC) for a comprehensive quarterly webinar series exploring the latest innovations, trends, and best practices in building enclosure technology.
This series brings together experts from across the construction, architecture, and engineering sectors to dive deep into the critical role that building envelopes play in creating energy-efficient, sustainable, and resilient buildings.
Each session will provide actionable insights for professionals looking to up their game, whether in enclosure design, construction, or retrofit. This series will equip you with the knowledge and tools to design, build, and operate enclosures that meet the requirements for tomorrow’s built environment—combining performance, sustainability, and long-term resilience.

Part 2: Electronic Leak Detection: Lessons Learned from ELD Testing and Continuous Monitoring
In this session, we will cover the lessons learned from multiple case studies regarding electronic leak detection (ELD) quality control testing as part of new construction, forensic testing in existing buildings with active leaks, and continuous moisture monitoring for conventional roofing.

Hindsight 20/20 - 20 Years of Leak Detection
As architects and planners seek to maximize the use of all available space, the next generation of low-slope roofs are not only waterproof coverings, but platforms for assets such as solar panels, green roofs, water storage, and amenity spaces.

Calculating Moisture Risk in Roofs
The prevention of moisture accumulation in roof decks is a tale as old as roofs. Designers have traditionally used dew point analysis or the Glaser method to determine steady-state moisture risk in roof assemblies of buildings around the globe. However, building systems have become more complicated, and highly technical analysis software has become easier to access.
