2. GREENING EXISTING BUILDINGS ISSUE: Education and practical knowledge is needed on how to green existing commercial buildings. Programs and materials need to be developed to stimulate LEED EBOM building certification (Existing Buildings Operations and Maintenance). Collaboration with strategic partners such as BOMA and IFMA should be developed Webinars and Seminars Workshops and Work groups (100 Awareness, 200 Understanding, 300 Implementation) Subcommittee members: Steve Panico, Easton Gardner, Kurt Tellefsen, Amy Petros
Subcommittee members: Kurt Tellefsen, Kevin, Swanson, Lee Lobaugh, Remy Meraz 3. EXTENDING REACH OF USGBC TO STRATEGIC INFLUENCERS ISSUE: Strategic decision makers and influencers beyond the AEC community need to be educated on the rationale for green building, including economic and legislative drivers. Stakeholders include developers, commercial real estate community, facility managers and local government officials. Positively influencing these stakeholders will increase the number of LEED building certifications. Target markets identified: Financial and legal decision makers Database development: usgbc@syntropic.com Program development: Greening Commercial Real Estate (USGBC National Program) Others under consideration Partnerships: ULI, SANDAG
4.DEVELOP COLLEGE LEVEL PROGRAMS ISSUE: College level programs can potentially be developed under the USGBC Preferred Education Provider program - targeted toward the next generation of green building influencers. Emerging Green Builders committee and programs should be leveraged. Understand and communicate the USGBC Education Provider Program: Target markets - community, state, private colleges Subcommittee members: Remy Martinez, Amy Petros, Glen Widdop
5. INCREASING GENERAL PUBLIC AWARENESS ISSUE: The general public needs more information about green homes including waste recycling, new construction and renovations, interiors etc. Encourage collaboration with LEED for Homes Committee and USGBC National LEED for Homes education program. Consider partnering with and leveraging programs developed by consumer focused NGOs such as CCSE Broad topic needs more discussion and specific goals identified.
