The automotive industry found a way to ensure safety performance from all manufacturers to car owners through testing and validation.

The Build Meets World blog covers the design, construction, testing, restoration, and maintenance of the building envelope. We educate architects, contractors, facility managers, and others in the industry to construct and maintain durable, energy-efficient buildings.
