Thank you, Chair.
Welcome back, officials. You've certainly given us a good deal of information. Congratulations for the work that's been done over the last two decades. It's clear from this graph that much has been accomplished, but much more needs to be done. Energy costs continue to rise and they don't look like they're going down any time soon.
I'd like to focus on the certification aspect, of LEED versus BOMA BESt. We're told that LEED is the star performer and BOMA BESt is not the best. We're also told that only four federal buildings are currently registered LEED.
Mr. McBain, should the federal government have all its existing buildings under the same type of certification?
