Six associations were recognized with a 2021 Summit Award, 25 associations have been honored with Power of A Gold Awards, and 32 organizations received Power of A Silver Award recognition.

“It feels great to be recognized for CAM’s dedication to our client’s mission. As an active member of ASAE, we’re honored to share our success story with our professional peers,” said Anna Kosova, MBA, CAE, CAM Principal.

Ordinances for benchmarking commercial buildings, retro-commissioning, energy audits and other related aspects of documenting or reducing energy usage are proliferating rapidly throughout the U.S. Since the Paris Agreement on Climate Change was originally signed, many cities are doing their part to address building efficiency by implementing laws that go beyond the Paris Agreement’s goals.

The heart of the project, and our client-association, was 1. to promote certified independent commissioning services, so that the building owner receives work from proven professionals with no conflicts of interest. And 2. to promote certified energy management services by individuals who have incorporated a commissioning-based approach. 

“The Ordinance Initiative was incredibly important for ACG’s growth, because more recognition in city ordinances means our certifications are more relevant, valuable, and worth pursuing,” said Troy Byers, CxA, TBE, ACG President.

The AABC Commissioning Group (ACG) is a non-profit association dedicated to the advancement of independent third-party building commissioning and is the world’s largest group of certified commissioning authorities.
