Thank you again for the opportunity to present to CBOA this morning. Feel free to read more about SealPact at www.sealpact.com. We also appreciate any assistance in having as many users as possible sign up for the extended free trial (takes 5 minutes) at https://app.sealpact.com/signup. Hopefully your organization agrees that it’s better for our entire AEC ecosystem with people dynamically (or at minimum, digitally) signing and sealing documents.

Dear CBOA members,
I have been informed today to make the CBOA members aware of the proposed Governor's Bill 979. In short, this bill allows each town legislatively adopt an alternative building code that requires zero energy provisions for residential & commercial buildings. This bill is up for public comment on Monday 2/27/23. Please review the bill through the links below. See page 8 of 13 for the details.

Dear Connecticut Building Officials,
