About
Shaping the future of building enclosure science, one relationship at a time.
At BES, success starts with people. Building science is complex, but our approach to relationships couldn’t be simpler: teamwork, trust, and mutual respect. From the start, we’ve focused on cultivating strong relationships with our clients, our partners, and our teammates. Together, we’re tackling complex challenges and creating thoughtful solutions for the built world.
From Rhode Island roots to nationwide impact
In 2013, Michael Kenney and Charles Antone founded BES with a clear vision: to serve the Rhode Island and Massachusetts community with intentional, high-quality building science solutions. We started small, growing BES through grassroots efforts and personal outreach. We wanted to do things differently, focusing on trust, connection, and collaboration as a complement to technical skills.
Our approach was effective. BES has grown at a rate significantly above the industry average since our founding. We have happy team members and satisfied clients. Many of the relationships we built during those early years continue to this day.
What began as a local effort has grown into a national presence—thanks to our incredible team and the trust of our clients. Today, we’re proud to work with clients in the northeast and beyond.
At BES, building science expertise is a given—what truly sets us apart is our people. We’ve built a team of passionate, thoughtful individuals who understand what it takes to transform knowledge into practical, real-world solutions. Each one of us cares deeply about the partnerships we develop and is committed to achieving excellent outcomes together.

Everything we do at BES starts with our core values—clear principles that guide our work. These values shape how we treat our teammates, our clients, and our partners, reflecting who we are and what you can expect from us
