Outbrief Webinars
GPG Outbrief webinars are presented by national laboratory researchers and include results from real-world evaluations, as well as feedback from facility managers at test-bed locations. Following Outbrief presentations, researchers and other GSA subject experts field participant questions. Attendees are eligible to receive continuing education credits from the American Institute of Architects for attending webinars. Sign up for the GPG mailing list to receive webinar invitations.
Emerging Building Technologies’ two programs — GSA Proving Ground (GPG) and Pilot to Portfolio (P2P) enable GSA to make sound investment decisions in next-generation building technologies based on their real-world performance.
