By IIBEC Colorado Chapter.

Whether you are seeking education, community or a deeper connection to Colorado’s building enclosure professionals, the chapter welcomes you to get involved and grow with them.

The IIBEC Colorado Chapter continues to grow as one of the active communities for consultants, contractors, engineers and product manufacturers across the Front Range and beyond. With a blend of technical education, networking and member-focused events throughout the year, the chapter plays an essential role in elevating building enclosure practices. 

Who is the IIBEC Colorado Chapter

As part of the International Institute of Building Enclosure Consultants (IIBEC), the Colorado Chapter serves their members with year-round programming designed to advance building enclosure knowledge and strengthen professional connections. From hands-on technical trainings to collaborative workshops, continuing education sessions and hybrid social-learning events, the chapter offers opportunities for both seasoned professionals and those new to the industry to engage and grow. 

Education remains at the core of the chapter’s mission. Throughout the year, the chapter offers continuing education programs that address real-world challenges — such as weather-related damage, building science fundamentals, materials performance and evolving code requirements. These sessions are designed for consultants and contractors seeking credible, unbiased and actionable information they can apply in their daily work. The chapter also hosts blended events that pair shorter education modules with community-focused social gatherings, helping members connect on both a technical and personal level. 

On that note, relationship and community development are also cores of the chapter's operations. Social events, networking gatherings, collaborative outings and holiday celebrations bring together people from every corner of the building enclosure industry. These activities create a welcoming environment where meaningful relationships can develop, and they offer manufacturers and partners valuable opportunities to engage with the Colorado market. Overall, these gatherings help strengthen Colorado’s broader building enclosure community and create meaningful opportunities for future collaboration and sponsorship. 

The team behind the scenes

Behind the chapter’s continued momentum are their volunteers. The chapter encourages members to get involved with committees, outreach and future chapter planning. Their volunteer Board of Directors is committed to growing membership, fostering community and elevating the quality of enclosure education across Colorado. The board contributes expertise across engineering, consulting, construction and product manufacturing, bringing a well-rounded perspective to chapter planning and development.

It is this behind-the-scenes team that ensures that each event — whether technical, social or both — reflects the needs and interests of local professionals. By encouraging volunteerism and promoting committee participation, the board strengthens the chapter’s long-term impact while ensuring its programs reflect the needs and interests of the local industry.

The Colorado Chapter takes a local focus on IIBEC’s mission to support building enclosure consultants through education, networking and more! 

The Coffee Shops™, the award-winning online communities where the industries meet for technologies, safety, information and education for the construction trades of roofing, metal, coatings and outdoor living, are pleased to welcome the IIBEC Colorado Chapter into their community. 

The Colorado Chapter of the International Institute of Building Enclosure Consultants (IIBEC) is a dedicated community of roofing, waterproofing and building enclosure consulting professionals. They take the larger, international IIBEC organization’s mission of fostering “excellence in the building enclosure industry through education, advocacy and networking opportunities for our members,” and pursue it on a more localized level for Coloradoans.  

They do this in a variety of ways, such as organizing local training opportunities and upholding high standards of quality. They also act as a space for the community to come together and support one another. Events like their annual sporting clays tournament, golf outing and holiday party are all great ways for roofing, waterproofing and building enclosure consulting professionals in Colorado and surrounding states and/or communities to network with one another. 

In addition to their work for the built environment industry, they also run a variety of philanthropic endeavors. These include collaborations with local universities to award scholarships for “relevant fields of architecture, structural, civil engineering, construction management or other related areas of study” and other Colorado construction associations (such as the RCI Foundation and the Colorado Roofing Association). 

The Coffee Shops are proud to welcome the IIBEC Colorado Chapter!
