GSA Holds Green Building Advisory Committee Meeting

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) held a meeting of its Green Building Advisory Committee (GBAC) to discuss a number of issues, including the Green Building Certification Review, Facilities Management Institute, Knowledge Network, and the business case for federal green buildings.

GBAC is a group made up of representatives from the U.S. Departments of Energy, Defense, Transportation, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Office of Management and Budget, Council on Environmental Quality, and others. There are also 11 non-federal GBAC members – including ASHRAE Past President Kent Peterson. GBAC provides advice and recommendations to GSA and GSA’s Office of Federal High-Performance Green Buildings in particular, on efforts to increase the sustainability of technologies and practices in federal buildings.
