Background: The Administrator of
GSA established the Committee on June
20, 2011 (Federal Register/Vol. 76, No.
118) pursuant to Section 494 of the
Energy Independence and Security Act
of 2007 (EISA, 42 U.S.C. 17123). Under
this authority, the Committee provides
independent policy advice and
recommendations to GSA to improve
federal buildings (assets, operations,
use, and resilience) to enhance human
health and performance, and safeguard
social, economic, and environmental
security.
The Committee currently has two
active task groups. The High
Performance Building Adoption task
group is pursuing the motion of a
committee member to provide
recommendations to ‘‘accelerate the
adoption of high performance [Federal]
buildings.’’ The Health and Wellness
task group is pursuing the motion of a
committee member to ‘‘develop
guidelines to integrate health and
wellness features into government
facilities programs.’’
The conference calls will allow the
task groups to coordinate the
development of consensus
recommendations to the full Committee,
which will, in turn, decide whether to
proceed with formal advice to GSA
based upon these recommendations.
