BECx

Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) helps project teams verify that a building enclosure is designed and constructed to perform as intended. From early design through construction, BECx can help identify risks, improve coordination and support long-term building performance. Below, we answer common questions about Building Enclosure Commissioning, including when BECx should begin, how it applies to existing buildings, and how it can support better-performing building enclosures.

What is BECx?

Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) is a quality-focused process that helps ensure a building’s enclosure, walls, roofs, windows, doors, and other exterior components, performs as intended. BECx identifies potential issues early, improves coordination and helps protect long-term building performance.

When should BECx begin?

BECx is most effective when it begins early in the design process. Starting during planning and design allows performance goals, enclosure requirements, and potential risks to be addressed before construction begins, when changes are easier and less costly to make.

Does BECx apply to existing buildings?

Yes. BECx can be valuable for existing buildings, particularly during renovations, additions, or performance improvements. Assessing existing conditions can help identify enclosure issues, inform design decisions and reduce the risk of problems during construction.
