EEBA Institute of Building Technology
 Dear
EEBA Institute Member:
For 27 years the EEBA organization has been promoting the benefits of
building science education to weather the changing climate in the
industry. Your dedication to continued education through your membership
in the EEBA Institute demonstrates your commitment to better building
performance. It is for this reason that I am contacting you today.
As a result of the economics of our times, the EEBA Board of Directors
has redirected the resources within the organization. The Board felt
that the time required to manage the details of the EEBA Institute could
be better spent developing new curriculum and resource materials for the
Houses that Work educational series. For this reason we are contacting
you to let you know that effective March 1, 2008 the EEBA Institute has
been discontinued.
Measures have been implemented to provide you with recognition for the
work you have completed as of March 2008. Individuals registered with
the Institute as a member who have:
- Attended 3 or more EEBA Excellence in Building or Affordable
Comfort Conferences and;
- Have taken at least 10 Institute credit classes in the last 3
years and;
- Are enrolled in one of the following programs: Energy Star,
Building America, EFL, EarthCraft, Built Green Colorado, Austin
Green, or GE EcoBuilder or ALA Health House;
will be awarded the EEBA Institute Certification. Those that qualify will
receive a certificate and will be listed on the EEBA website. In
addition, EEBA has joined with the American Lung Association’s Health
House project and as a result of joint alliance, the ALA will also
recognize EEBA Institute Certified builders on their web site. If you
have registered with the EEBA MasterBuilder program EEBA will honor that
process. However you must have a registration on file as of January
2008.
Now more than ever, building science education can bridge the way
through the
slow-down for those that apply the knowledge and marketing techniques
you have learned. As EEBA redirects its efforts, we will aim to provide
even more tools and resources you can use to translate the building
performance benefits to increased sales. For a full listing of EEBA
Houses That Work and Conference Educational Session visit our web site
at www.eeba.org.
Thank you for your continued support and please don’t hesitate to
contact my office if you have any questions about this transition.
Respectfully,
Kathleen
