Last week, the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) published its Annual Report to the President of the United States; the 2023 report highlights NIBS’ work to improve the safety, performance and resilience of the nation’s buildings and communities; enable innovation and response use of technology across the building industry; and provide continuing education opportunities to ensure a competent and vibrant workforce.
NRMCA provided input on section titled Moving Forward Report: Findings and Recommendations from the Consultative Council which defines solutions to key challenges faced within the built environment and highlights resilience, sustainability and energy efficiency-based solutions, all of which benefit the concrete industry.
NRMCA is an organizational member of NIBS. In addition to the Consultative Council, NRMCA participates in NIBS’ Multi-Hazard Mitigation Council in order to promote disaster resilience and whole-building strategies to strengthen individual buildings, businesses and communities.
