Buildings Committee

NASEO's Buildings Committee covers state, regional, and national issues in the areas of residential, commercial and public buildings and building energy codes. The committee provides a way for State Energy Office members and NASEO Affiliate members to engage with each other and with NASEO staff to:

  • Identify emerging and priority issues that are relevant to the state and territory energy offices;
  • Facilitate peer-exchange, sharing of best practices on policies and programs, and regional or multi-state collaboration where appropriate;
  • Provide regular updates on relevant regional and national policies and initiatives that may impact the state and territory energy offices;
  • Guide NASEO's Buildings Program activities; and
  • Build consensus on issues, where appropriate.

Who Should Participate
State and territory energy office (SEO) directors can choose to participate in any or all of NASEO's committees. Directors may also choose to designate program staff from their offices to participate. NASEO Affiliate members may also participate. To designate or confirm a contact for the committee, please provide Diana Lin (dlin@naseo.org) with the designee's contact information.

Membership Expectations
Committee members are expected to participate in committee conference calls and meetings, provide input on agenda discussion items from their office's perspective, and share their unique state or territory experience with other committee members.

NASEO committees meet in-person twice a year at NASEO's fall Annual Meeting and the NASEO/ASERTTI State Energy Policy and Technology Outlook Conference. Additionally, the Buildings Committee holds regular bi-monthly calls.

The next committee call will be held on May 16, 2012 from 3:30-4:30pm ET.
