Candidates for IIBEC’s Certified Building Enclosure Commissioning Provider (CBECxP®) credential can now complete an interactive online application process. With the expansion of IIBEC’s focus to building enclosure commissioning, the organization recognized a need in the marketplace for a CBECxP® credential. IIBEC is currently pursuing ISO/IEC 17024 accreditation for this certification through the ANSI National Standards Board (ANAB).

The CBECxP® examination is currently in its final development phases to validate applicants who will be tested on the appropriate knowledge, skills, and abilities required to provide building enclosure commissioning duties. The CBECxP® exam is anticipated to be released in late 2021.

CBECxP® Application and Exam Requirements
