Partner Advisory Board Meetings

CBE hosts semi-annual meetings with CBE’s Industry Partners and invited guests. At these events we share research progress, get feedback on new research directions, and continue to build a community that shares our goal of creating knowledge and resources that improve the performance of buildings and the built environment.

Industry Advisory Board Meeting, Fall 2026

CBE’s Industry Advisory Board Meeting events will take place at UC Berkeley on October 15-16. Thursday’s Plenary Session will be available in a hybrid format, with both virtual and in-person options. Friday’s Executive Session will be in-person only. Full agenda link and agenda outline will be posted below soon. Registration information will be emailed to partners and invited guests.

The fall membership events are being hosted in collaboration with two public events on October 14th. A morning workshop will distill findings on sleep-supportive environments, energy-efficient cooling, and an open-source platform for just-in-time interventions, research done in collaboration with UC Berkeley, NUS, and the University of Sydney. The afternoon session, at AIASF in San Francisco, will feature two panels with sustainability leaders who will discuss the intersection of design intent and project delivery, plus recent and leading-edge ZNE case studies.
