The High Performance Building Caucus recently recognized new recommendations to the building industry. The recommendations are part of the National Institute of Building Sciences Consultative Council 2012 Report, “Moving Forward: Findings and Recommendations from the Consultative Council.”
The Consultative Council, a representative council of the nation’s building community, prepares the report annually as required by the Institute’s enabling legislation. This year’s report, according to the organization, aims to show a pathway toward high-performance buildings. It offers specific recommendations that can be implemented in the near term to serve as the basis for a national buildings policy.
