The High-Performance Buildings Caucus of the U.S. Congress (HPBCC) was formed to heighten awareness and inform policymakers about the major impact buildings have on our health, safety, and welfare. Cochaired by U.S. Reps. David McKinley, R-West Virginia, and Peter Welch, D-Vermont, the caucus aims to provide the best present and future protection and benefit to American citizens, visitors, and the natural environment. Further, the policies created are designed to help support the development of private-sector standards, codes, and guidelines that will protect and improve the quality and utility of our built environment in harmony with the natural environment.
And, in an effort to provide this specialized congressional group with appropriate guidance, the HVAC industry has banded together to form the High-Performance Building Congressional Caucus Coalition (HPBCCC).
