The International Institute of Building Enclosure Consultants and Fenestration Canada on Aug. 13 entered into a memorandum of understanding that extends IIBEC’s partnerships in the building enclosure industry while bolstering FENCAN’s promotion, protection and advancement of the window, door and skylight industry across North America.

The MOU focuses on education, advocacy and collaboration on industry issues. Additionally, IIBEC and FENCAN will make speakers available for each other’s conferences.

“We’re excited to establish yet another industry partnership that demonstrates IIBEC’s commitment to all six sides of the building,” said IIBEC executive vice president and CEO Brian Pallasch. “Fenestration Canada has shown its dedication to windows, doors and skylights, and we know our members will mutually benefit from working together more closely.”
