Background

    The Administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration 
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 advises GSA on the rapid transformation of the Federal 
building portfolio to sustainable technologies and practices. The 
Committee reviews strategic plans, products and activities of the 
Office of Federal High-

[[Page 29004]]

Performance Green Buildings and 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 http://www.gsa.gov/gbac.
