About OBEC
Our History
In 2025 OBEC rebranded to BSAO – Building Science Association of Ontario with the mission to advocate for building science and provide quality education and forums for collaboration for members to network and increase their technical knowledge.
Our vision is to ensure we are the gold standard in building science education and professional networking.
Guided by the "Board of Directors" - BSAO is focused on delivering:
- Information forums for the exchange of ideas and information on building science.
- Access to current technical information and best practices.
- Educational programs for the benefit of the building community.
- Guidance on current trends and issues to the research and development community.
- Recommendations regarding improvements to codes and standards

In 1897 the Ontario Building Envelope Council (OBEC) was formed to bring together engineers, architects, manufacturers, and the research communities to address the challenges facing building performance and sustainability.
One of OBEC's keys to success is our dedication to building science education at all levels.
