The Asset Score National Leadership Network is a landmark partnership between DOE and leading companies, federal agencies, and state and local governments to expand usage and knowledge of the Asset Score, and to guide future improvements to the Asset Score program. Illustrating the broad appeal of the Asset Score, the Leadership Network is comprised of 21 public and private sector organizations from diverse sectors including commercial real estate; global infrastructure; energy software and services; state, local, and federal government; and design and engineering.
The following 17 organizations have pledged to use the Asset Score on 10 buildings in 2016 and work with DOE to produce a case study of one facility:
- AECOM
- Arup
- CH2M Hill
- DNV GL
- FS Energy
- Ingersoll Rand
- JBG Companies
- Liberty Property Trust
- Marriott International
- Marx Okubo
- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
- Performance Systems Development
- Skidmore, Owings & Merrill
- Steven Winter Associates
- Transwestern
- U.S. General Services Administration
- YR&G
Additionally, the Association of Energy Engineers pledged to work with DOE to provide Asset Score education and training for its member companies; the State of Missouri and the State of Rhode Island each pledged to work with DOE to produce a case study of one state-owned facility that already has an Asset Score; and the City of Milwaukee pledged to facilitate use of the Asset Score on buildings participating in its city-led Better Buildings Challenge program.
The 21 participants of the Leadership Network were announced by the White House in January 2016. DOE has committed to provide technical assistance to support these pledges, which will occur throughout 2016.
