INDUSTRY RESOURCES
The BCxA Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Building Commissioning Association serves the mid-Atlantic region with members in Virginia, Maryland, District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Delaware. Our goal is to develop and promote high professional standards for building commissioning services that fulfill owner expectations and to enrich the professional lives of building commissioning professionals in the mid-Atlantic region.
We advocate the highest standards of professional competence and ethics, foster professional education and development, and seek to build an understanding and support for the practice of building commissioning. To do so, we meet regularly to provide professional development and networking opportunities for our members. Since our geographic region is so large, we hold meetings at various sites and locations to provide our members with the opportunity to attend meetings that are within a comfortable distance.
