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 advance federal building innovations in 
planning, design, and operations to reduce costs, enable agency 
missions, enhance human health and performance, and minimize 
environmental impacts.
    The Energy Storage Task Group will explore the use of energy 
storage at federal facilities, and how it may be employed to reduce 
energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, including in conjunction with 
renewable energy and grid integration strategies.
    The Sustainable Response to COVID-19 Task Group will analyze 
potential impacts on federal facility sustainability, including 
occupant health and wellness, related to the potential implementation 
of COVID-19 mitigation measures and operational practices.
    The Web-based meetings will allow the task groups to develop 
consensus recommendations to the full Committee, which will, in turn, 
decide whether to proceed with formal advice to GSA based upon these 
recommendations.

Kevin Kampschroer,
Federal Director, Office of Federal High-Performance Buildings, General 
Services Administration.
