The PEER testbed effort is directed by a research executive committee (REC) comprising the PEER Director (Moehle) and Associate Director (Deierlein), and one or two managers for each testbed.  Individual academic research projects focus either on a single testbed or a crosscutting research topic.   Business and Industry Partner (BIP) colleagues are performing parallel studies of the testbed buildings for comparison of PEER's methodology with the state of the practice.
