Technical Committee
The Technical Committee serves as a technical advisory group to help define the development process of Council resources and provide recommendations to the Board of Directors defining the technical direction these programs take.

The Schools Committee guides staff and provides technical input to the High-Performance School Buildings Program. This includes the High-Performance School Buildings Resource and Strategy Guide, workshops, technical training, and on-line resources for K-12 school decision-makers and Architects and Engineers who will enable school districts to build a new generation of high-performance, sustainable schools.
Marketing & Promotions Committee
The Marketing & Promotions Committee identifies important market segments for SBIC education and training and ensures that all programs consistently promote the whole building approach to design.
Policy Committee
