PIMA Testifies Before GSA’s Green Building Advisory Committee
WASHINGTON — A member of the Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association (PIMA) Board of Directors testified at GSA’s Green Building Advisory Committee Public Meeting and voiced serious concerns about some of the proposals dealing with material avoidance in LEED 2012 that fly in the face of building science.
PIMA Board Member and the Codes and Standards Advocate for Bayer MaterialScience Jerry Phelan, questioned whether or not GSA should be recommending green building rating systems that fail to meet true consensus requirements, as directed by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.
