provides advice regarding how the
Office can accomplish its mission most
effectively.
The Portfolio Prioritization task group
is pursuing the motion of two
committee members to ‘‘propose a
process for Federal agencies to
consistently incorporate green building
and resilience requirements into their
capital investment criteria and
strategies.’’ The Energy Use Index task
group is pursuing the motion of a
committee member to ‘‘develop
guidelines for creating a new energy
intensity metric [to reflect impacts of]
densified facilities, centrally located
workplace sites . . . and expansion of
telework and hoteling.’’
Both groups have met previously and
had their work endorsed by the full
Committee at its April 23, 2015 meeting.
The conference calls will focus on how
the task groups can further refine these
motions into final consensus
recommendations of each group to the
full Committee, which will in turn
decide whether to proceed with formal
advice to GSA based upon these
recommendations. Additional
background information and updates
will be posted on GSA’s Web site at
