About the Controlled Environment Building Association (CEBA)
In 1978, a small group of insulation contractors gathered to discuss the formation of an association representing professionals who serve the specific needs of the cold storage industry.
Within a year, the National Association of Cold Storage Insulation Contractors was incorporated and the organization’s founding Board of Directors was named. The purpose and objectives of the Association were refined, and in 1981 the first annual conference and additional educational programs were held.
A Technical Committee was formed to serve the membership. Industry studies, a building code and specific publications were developed. In 1987, the name was changed to International Association of Cold Storage Contractors. In 2002, another name change was made to International Association for Cold Storage Construction, to invite broader engagement and provide all members equal status.
In an effort to better align with a changing industry and the expanding expertise of its members, the association’s name evolved yet again, becoming the Controlled Environment Building Association (CEBA) in 2018.
