    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.
