Jennifer, Thank you for the detailed notes.  I had hoped to join the call to introduce myself but had a conflict with this month's time. To respond to one of the meeting notes, the Electrification Letter is what made me research this group and find out how to become a member of the Peer Network.  I look forward to the follow-up on the letter and the next steps. The energy modeling discussion is another passion of mine.  I'm currently trying to navigate best tools vs. most efficient vs. modeling that serves multiple purposes (i.e. a LEED model, code compliance, loads).  We've gotten close on the latter, for a California project but there were still some hurdles and "work arounds" to make it one size fits all. Thank you again and I look forward to connecting on these issues and others from the meeting.

Hi folks, Just want to say—if you’re interested in exploring and understanding trends in building electrification, you won’t want to miss this meeting. It’s not often we get access to the team that can extract whatever data and trends can be extracted from the LEED/Arc data (sometimes not as much as one would hope, admittedly). I hope to see you on Tuesday! Nadav

We didn't get to item 7:  "Question about company size as a qualification for the network".  I'd like to offer this input:  I'd like to open it up to any size firm, even, I guess, including sole proprietors - as long as they are truly sustainability-focused, practicing building systems engineers (as opposed to the members of the Sustainable Advising Leaders).  A key (perhaps even the principal) value of this network is sharing:  new novel and developing technical information; advocacy and policy initiatives; as well as the challenges of shepherding large collections of (shall we say) less-well-inclined staff toward higher performance and better than code outcomes?  Just because a smaller firm might not have the challenges of turning a larger organization doesn't mean that they wouldn't have a perspective (perhaps from an earlier incarnation) or good ideas to help those of us with staffs that number in scores, hundreds or thousands.  If they can handle the membership fees, I say that we have room for them.
