Message from the Conference Chair

The Ontario Building Envelope Council is proud to host the 14th Canadian Conference on Building Science and Technology. For almost 30 years, the CCBST series has been a not-to-be-missed event held in major centers across Canada. In 2014, it is Toronto’s turn and OBEC will be building on the amazing success of CCBST 13 in Winnipeg this year, CCBST 12 in Montreal, CCBST 11 in Vancouver and those previous. CCBST 14 promises to have over 100 peer reviewed papers submitted from experts in design, construction, research, and rehabilitation on topics including building innovation, energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and building envelope performance. As an added benefit to all participants, there is also a trade show with space for 80 to 100 booths for suppliers of building envelope products, systems, and designs and associated stakeholders.

2014 is not that far away and our organizing committee is coming together now to prepare for this event. If you are interested in participating as a member of the committee, as a sponsor, or as a volunteer on the floor during the conference, OBEC would love to hear from you.
