The Joint Committee on Energy and Environmental Policy is a joint Task Force charged with the responsibility to monitor and influence energy and environmental policy in the State of California as it pertains to and impacts the heating, ventilating & air conditioning (HVAC) industry.
The Mission of the Joint Committee on Energy and Environmental Policy is to promote responsible environmental policy in California and encourage efficient HVAC market transformation through collaboration with industry stakeholders and regulatory agencies.
Green buildings are not just a fad…they are the future. These buildings increase energy efficiency while reducing environmental problems through better use of design specifications, construction, and maintenance. Career opportunities are available in sustainable building system design, fabrication, balancing, commissioning, service and operations. JCEEP was formed by CAL-SMACNA and California SMWIA Local Unions, who have a well-established relationship geared towards cooperation in training the best workers to do the job.
Testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB) of a building’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems helps make a building green. JCEEP is proud of its affiliation with TABB, the Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing Bureau. TABB is an ANSI Accredited Certification Program, certifying those members who have decided to increase their job opportunities by becoming TABB Certified technicians and supervisors. TABB also certifies contractors and also the actual "TAB labs" across the United States and Canada. These facilities have met stringent requirements that reinforce the professionalism taught at these training centers.
Career Opportunities Include:

JCEEP is a committee formed by California Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association and the California Local Unions of the Sheet Metal Workers’ International Association assigned to collaborate with the Public Utility Commission, Energy Commission and the Air Resources Board to assist in implementation of their building energy efficiency and green house gas reduction programs. CAL SMACNA and the SMWIA co-sponsor and fund training in 15 different centers located throughout the state. Their training programs offer career paths in HVAC system design, fabrication, installation, balancing, commissioning and service. Whether your interests are in design, detailing, BIM, installation or system efficiency we offer a path to the future. For more information please locate a center in your area from the list below and give them a call.
TABB-certified contractors are trained, equipped and capable of carrying out this 10-point process to assure that systems in "green" buildings are performing according to design objectives and/or to provide optimum system performance for sustainability.

2009 HERS White Paper
Applicability of Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Programs to Reduce Air Leakage and Energy Consumption in Nonresidential HVAC Systems -
James E. Woods, Ph.D., P.E.
The primary purpose of the 2008 Nonresidential Standards is “to further reduce growth in electrical and natural gas use and demand in nonresidential buildings while providing improved indoor environmental conditions and reducing greenhouse gasses and other emissions.” To address this purpose, the objectives of this White Paper are to provide an analysis of the impact that the required but limited air leakage testing and validation procedures have on building energy consumption, and to recommend means and methods to improve the procedures that will reduce energy consumption in nonresidential buildings. To achieve these objectives, the Nonresidential Standards and supporting documents were reviewed, other literature was reviewed, and a thermodynamic analysis was conducted.
