Commercial Buildings Initiative

Consortium Membership

Led by a Steering Committee representing prominent national industry, NGO, and public organizations, the Zero Energy Commercial Buildings Consortium is a public/private consortium with broad industry representation, working with the U.S. Department of Energy to develop and deliver technology, policies, and practices to achieve a market transition to Zero Net Energy Commercial Buildings by 2030. 

The current tasks under this program include identifying potential next-generation technologies, identifying barriers and solutions for industry acceptance, and collaborating with commercial building stakeholders.

Why Become a Member

Consortium members have the opportunity to collaborate with a critical mass of high-performance building industry stakeholders and the DOE to:

  • Demonstrate your organization’s commitment to zero energy buildings 
  • Share knowledge
  • Strengthen communication and interaction
  • Contribute to the Consortium’s Next Generation Technologies and Analysis of Cost and Non-Cost Barriers reports

Who Can Be a Member

All organizations interested in advancing energy-efficient commercial building technologies, practices and policies, including building designers, owners and operators, financiers, manufacturers, state and regional policy makers and program planners, researchers, and funding agencies.

Types of Membership

Active Consortium Members are expected to commit time and resources in support of the tasks above by:

  • participating in one or more working groups
  • contributing best practices and case studies
  • reviewing Consortium reports
  • promoting the Consortium at industry events
  • collaborating with other Consortium members

Active Consortium Members will receive regular correspondence and be recognized as an Active Member on the program website.
