Profile material to gather
Current role, location, practice area, credentials, selected projects, and one clear reason for joining the council.
Resilient Building Council
A common table for building.
Craft knowledge, building science, material health, and owner priorities need a common table.
Why a council
No single product or certification can carry the whole building.
The council is a place to compare evidence, craft experience, site constraints, and owner priorities before they harden into expensive construction.
Its job is to make tradeoffs visible, keep the original performance brief intact, and leave records that future owners can use.
Expert team.
This new council needs a current roster. The old ION collaborator list is not carried forward automatically. Add people after roles, credentials, and active participation are confirmed.
Useful practice areas
Building biology, enclosure science, architecture, construction, mineral finishes, fire planning, carbon, and owner representation.
Community partners.
Profiles and links can be added as relationships and points of contact are confirmed.

How the council should work.
Useful advice stays specific, independent, and readable after the meeting.
Start with exposure
Climate, water, fire, soil, occupancy, and maintenance capacity shape the right assembly. Product selection comes later.
Compare the whole wall
Heat, vapor, bulk water, drying potential, toxicity, repair, and fire behavior belong in one conversation.
Show the tradeoffs
Owners need plain comparisons before cost, schedule, or a familiar detail closes off better choices.
Leave useful records
Drawings, material notes, and maintenance guidance help a building keep its value after the project team leaves.
