Chairwoman Reynolds Brown and members of the Committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify today. My name is Laurie Actman and I am the Deputy Director of the Energy Efficient Buildings Hub.

The Energy Efficient Buildings Hub (EEB Hub) was established as an Energy-Regional Innovation Cluster (E-RIC) at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia on February 1, 2011 with funding from the Department of Energy (DOE), the Economic Development Administration (EDA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Small Business Administration (SBA), and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. As a multi-agency sponsored E-RIC, the EEB Hub has a unique dual mission of improving energy efficiency in buildings and promoting regional economic growth and job creation. We are led by Penn State University and include 22 other partners including University of Pennsylvania, PIDC, Ben Franklin Technology Partners, DVIRC and others.
