The Seattle Building Enclosure Council (SeaBEC) is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to promote the pursuit of excellence in the design, construction, or other technical aspects of the building enclosure. SeaBEC began in January 2005 as a forum for discussion and knowledge-sharing of items relating to building enclosures. It promotes and encourages discussion training, education, technology transfer, the exchange of information about local issues and cases, relevant weather conditions, and all matters concerning building enclosures and the related science.

It is our hope that by combining forces we can better understand why building enclosures fail and how to better construct and maintain buildings in the Pacific Northwest.
