The Building Envelope Institute

The Building Envelope Institute is an organization dedicated to improving the energy efficiency, durability, and comfort of buildings by focusing on their outer layers—walls, roofs, windows, and doors. These components, known as the building envelope, help protect against weather and regulate indoor conditions. The Institute provides education, training, and best practices to architects, builders, and stakeholders to design and maintain enclosures that reduce energy costs, prevent moisture intrusion, and enhance overall building performance. Its goal is to promote sustainable, resilient, and efficient building solutions through knowledge sharing and industry standards.
