    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 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 Green Leasing task group will propose recommendations in 
support of GSA's development of model commercial leasing provisions, a 
requirement of the Energy Efficiency Improvement Act of 2015 (42 U.S.C. 
17062).
    The Energy Use Intensity (EUI) task group will propose 
recommendations following 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 teleconferences 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. Additional background information and 
updates will be posted on GSA's Web site at http://www.gsa.gov/gbac.
