Sustainable Buildings Industry Council Selects New Executive Director
The Sustainable Buildings Industry Council (SBIC) has appointed
Bud DeFlaviis to serve as its new executive director.
DeFlaviis will work with SBIC membership to support the organization's mission to promote high-performing commercial and residential buildings. He will also work on strategic fundraising, membership expansion and support, policy advocacy, and a variety of special projects.

In that role, he helped shape industry consensus on a number of key legislative initiatives. He also provided education and outreach support to policy makers and the general public about alternative energy technologies. These efforts resulted in increased appropriations, beneficial authorizations and new progressive tax policies that benefitted the industry.
