Arno became an ir. arch. at Ghent University in 2009. For three years he was there as scientific collaborator for the TETRA project Building with glass and adhesives. Since 2014, Arno has been a BB'er and is part of Team Renovation, Restoration & Maintenance.

For Arno, the meaning in his job is in what he calls detective work: (under)investigating the cause of defects in a building, discovering what makes a building special and finding a possible improvement to it, energetically or technically. Once the investigation is over, he makes it a point of honor to subtly but firmly convince the client to implement the technical solution we came up with. How he does that is our best kept secret.

Martijn became a structural engineer at the Katholieke Hogeschool St-Lieven in 2002. He also obtained a postgraduate degree in Bio-ecological building there in 2011. He holds certificates including Green Building Solutions (2011) from Summer University Vienna and Daylight Engineering (2012) from Danube University of Krems.

Martijn is a lecturer at KAHO Sint-Lieven (postgraduate Bio-ecological Building), a practice assistant and thesis supervisor at Ghent University and gives training courses on bioclimatic architecture for VIBE and Hogeschool PXL.

Since 2002, Martijn has mainly been a BB'er as a member of Team Sustainability, Energy & Comfort.

Martijn likes to put his colleagues on the right track. He does so by questioning trodden paths and initiating major behavioural changes with small interventions. If, by insisting on the importance of designing with daylight, he can have an impact on the end user's mental well-being, he is more than happy to do so. Martijn prefers to inspire his audience to dialogue, to challenge them to achieve a broader support base for better building in the future through shared experiences.

Jan became an architect at the Higher Architecture Institute St.-Lucas in Ghent, is an architect expert (building pathology) and flat roof specialist. He founded Bureau Bouwtechniek in 1995.

Jan sits on various committees, working groups, professional networks and professional groups relevant to the future of building.

Since 2003, Jan Moens has been a professor at Ghent University, Department of Architecture and Urban Planning.

Jan gets excited by projects with a complex challenge. The scale is not necessarily relevant. As long as the building-technical challenge is big enough, he enjoys working on it. Whoever can surprise Jan has shot the main bird. Bearing in mind his own motto 'we travel on me to learn', he enjoys new ideas and fresh angles. If his expertise has a positive impact on a problematic situation, that makes him particularly happy. It will be even better if it soon turns out that he has moved a stone in the way people think about building.

Ken obtained a Bachelor of Applied Architecture from Hogeschool West-Vlaanderen Simon Stevin in 2008, became safety coordinator in 2010 and flat roof specialist in 2011. Ken became a BB'er in 2008 and is part of Team Renovation, Restoration & Maintenance and Team Safety.

Ken is safety coordinator at heart. Safety is or isn't. No grey areas, nothing through the fingers. Because he stands in his profession with conviction and commitment. With commitment in the right place. He will therefore not hesitate to go the extra mile if this enables him to raise safety to a higher level. Because it matters to him.
