SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Procedures for Attendance: Contact Mr. Ken Sandler at 
[email protected] to register to listen in to any or all of these 
conference calls. To attend the conference calls, submit your full 
name, organization, email address, and phone number. Requests to listen 
in to the calls must be received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time

    Background: The Administrator of the U.S. General Services 
Administration established the Green Building Advisory Committee with a 
notice published in the Federal Register at 76 FR 35894, on June 20, 
2011, pursuant to Section 494 of the Energy Independence and Security 
Act of 2007 (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-Performance Green Buildings, and provides advice regarding 
how the Office can accomplish its mission most effectively.
    The Portfolio Prioritization task group will continue to pursue the 
motion of a committee member 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 will continue to pursue 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.''
    The conference calls will focus on how the task groups can best 
refine these motions into consensus recommendations from 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.
