Every year, NIBS recognizes built environment professionals – thought leaders, change-makers, and innovators – folks who are getting things done and their work and projects support the industry in big ways.
For the newest episode of the Building Innovation Podcast, we caught up with some of the award recipients from 2023.
We spoke with the following award recipients:

The National Institute of Building Sciences recently held a three-part public hearing, bringing together veteran building industry experts to discuss the state of housing affordability.
There’s ample motivation to fix the problem, but it’s taken decades for us to get here. And the road forward isn’t easy to navigate.

The Building Seismic Safety Council’s Functional Recovery Planning Committee has published a report detailing the recommended scope, organization, and deliverables for developing functional recovery code provisions within the 2026 National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) Recommended Seismic Provisions for New Buildings and Other Structures.
Every year, hundreds of built environment professionals descend upon Washington, DC, to attend the Building Innovation conference of the National Institute of Building Sciences.
As part of our mission to continue conference education, NIBS has launched a new webinar series to reach even more professionals on new technology, trends, groundbreaking tools, best practices, and workforce solutions.
It’s our way of extending Building Innovation beyond the in-person meeting.

In September, NIBS and Fannie Mae unveiled the Resilience Incentivization Roadmap 2.0 – a continuation of a 2020 study that called for public and private incentives that allow owners of buildings and other infrastructure to facilitate the upgrade of existing infrastructure and better design of new infrastructure.
It’s a busy October!
NIBS is hosting three webinars this month, starting tomorrow at noon EST with The Intersect of Resilience, Low-Embodied Carbon and LCCA in Materials Selection.
In this webinar, experts will discuss the intersection of climate resilience, low-embodied carbon materials objectives, and life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA). The panel will present important data points in the evaluation of materials for each client project.
With the support of Fannie Mae, the National Institute of Building Sciences has developed a roadmap on mitigation investment to help Americans and the nation’s built environment prepare for and respond to the devastating effects of extreme weather.
