With recent drivers for increased emerging technology in performance contracting through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Executive Order (EO) 14057, and the Presidential government-wide initiative for energy efficiency projects, this session will look at how agencies are incorporating emerging technologies into their performance contracts. Subject matter experts will share opportunities and strategies for including proven emerging technofixes. Resources such as the General Services Administration (GSA) Green Proving Ground (GPG) and the Department of Defense (DoD) Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) can provide a roadmap for potential solutions. Gain knowledge from successfully executed projects and learn about resources that are available today to better plan your projects with emerging technologies.
