BECx and BET get used interchangeably
They shouldn't be.
Ask five people on a project what "building enclosure commissioning" means and you'll get five different answers. Some mean the testing. Some mean the process around it. Most have never had to draw the line between the two - because nobody handed them one.
CxPlanner is sponsoring this AABC webinar because that confusion has a real cost. Owners' Project Requirements get written without a shared vocabulary, and the enclosure ends up the part of the building nobody quite owns.
What you'll walk away with
- The actual differences between Building Enclosure Commissioning and Building Enclosure Testing
- How Owner's Project Requirements shape the design decisions that drive functional performance testing of the enclosure
- A common basis for discussing enclosure testing methods with your AEC team
- How enclosure testing fits into the BECx process as the final functional performance test of the enclosure systems
About the speaker
Mike Lackey, P.E., CxA, LCCx
The building enclosure plays a critical role in a structure's energy performance and occupant comfort, and BECx as a practice is still in a nascent, evolving stage. Mike Lackey brings the field-level clarity that's missing from most conversations on the topic - the kind that comes from actually walking projects through the OPR-to-testing handoff.
