Maryland Green Building Council Meeting Minutes

The meeting agenda included ongoing business regarding the High Performance Green Building Program (HPGBP) being in the approval and signing process with the Department of General Services (DGS) and Department of Budget and Management (DBM). New business focused heavily on discussing council insights into the 2026 legislative session. Key legislative items reviewed included a fuel neutrality building code proposal, HB79 concerning 'to the extent economically practicable' language in climate acts, HB66 regarding state withdrawal from RGGI, HB119 concerning energy performance contract navigators, and SB116 regarding sustainability alignment in contracts reviewed by the Board of Public Works. There was extensive discussion on potential council activities for 2026, including input for HPGBP updates and recommendations for sustainable buildings not covered by HPGBP. The discussion also covered the Buy Clean mandate for including Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in concrete specifications by July 1st for projects subject to HPGBP. Furthermore, the council discussed a future roundtable on building design precedence (aesthetics versus efficiency) and reviewed an FAQ document for the HPGBP. An update was provided on a DGS conference regarding energy performance contracting scheduled for March 11th.
