Government Issues GOV

Attended a September 21 ASHRAE 189.1 Work Group 9 meeting chaired by Don Horn of GSA, workgroup chair, and a September 29 meeting of the full committee. BIFMA urged members of the work group and full committee to keep references to the ANSI/BIFMA e3 Furniture Sustainability Standard in Section 9. The e3 Standard is referenced elsewhere in ASHRAE's Standard for the Design of High-Performance, Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings. BIFMA had been referenced in Section 9 in the past and the reasoning for removal of that reference was questionable.
