IT IS NOW AN INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT RECEIVES NO FUNDING FROM CONGRESS. EESI INFORMS CONGRESS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS THROUGH OUR HIGHLY-RESPECTED, FREE PUBLIC BRIEFINGS ON CAPITOL HILL, AS WELL AS THROUGH FREE FACT SHEETS, POLICY PAPERS, AND NEWSLETTERS ON THE LATEST SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND POLICY DEVELOPMENTS RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE, ENERGY EFFICIENCY, AND RENEWABLE ENERGY (E.G. SOLAR, WIND, BIOENERGY, GEOTHERMAL AND WATER). EESI HELD 18 BRIEFINGS IN 2013 WHICH WERE ATTENDED BY STAFF FROM 169 CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE AND MORE THAN 4,500 MEMBERS OF THE POLICY COMMUNITY. OUR BRIEFINGS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE AND ALSO LIVECAST AND RECORDED FOR ON-LINE DISTRIBUTION TO MAXIMIZE THEIR REACH AND IMPACT. EESI ALSO HELD A CONGRESSIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY EXPO AND POLICY FORUM TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC AND OUR LAWMAKERS. WE UPDATE POLICYMAKERS ON THE NEED TO MODERNIZE AND HARDEN THE ELECTRIC GRID SYSTEM, AND FAST-TRACK CLIMATE MITIGATION THROUGH ACTION ON SHORT-LIVED CLIMATE POLLUTANTS SUCH AS METHANE AND BLACK CARBON. OUR "CLIMATE CHANGE NEWS" WEEKLY NEWSLETTER REACHES OVER 4,000 SUBSCRIBERS. EESI FACILITATES COMMUNICATION AMONG DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS-INCLUDING ENVIRONMENTAL, BUSINESS, CONSUMER, NATIONAL SECURITY, PUBLIC HEALTH AND OTHER INTERESTS-AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES IN WASHINGTON, DC. WE ADD VALUE TO THE POLICY DEBATE AS A CONVENER, FRAMER, AND SYNTHESIZER OF ISSUES AND IDEAS. EESI WORKS TO DEVELOP POLICY SOLUTIONS THAT ACCOMPLISH MULTIPLE OBJECTIVES SUCH AS REDUCING ENERGY COSTS FOR CONSUMERS, STRENGTHENING NATIONAL SECURITY AND GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS, CLEANING UP OUR AIR AND WATER, IMPROVING PUBLIC HEALTH, CREATING JOBS, AND FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE. 194561 HIGH PERFORMANCE GREEN BUILDINGS PROGRAM:THE GOAL OF THE HIGH PERFORMANCE GREEN BUILDINGS (HPGB) PROGRAM IS TO PROMOTE POLICIES THAT DRAMATICALLY REDUCE BUILDING ENERGY USE (BUILDINGS USE MORE THAN 40 PERCENT OF THE NATION'S ENERGY). BEYOND CLIMATE MITIGATION, HIGH PERFORMANCE GREEN BUILDINGS CAN PROVIDE IMPROVED AFFORDABILITY, HEALTH, SAFETY, AND RESALE VALUE. IN 2013, EESI AUTHORED AND DISTRIBUTED A PAPER ON "THE VALUE AND IMPACT OF BUILDING CODES," TO HELP LOCAL CODE ADVOCATES MAKE THE CASE FOR THE ADOPTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF UP-TO-DATE BUILDING SAFETY, HEALTH AND ENERGY CODES; PUSHED FOR MORTGAGE-UNDERWRITING REFORM THAT WOULD ENCOURAGE THE INCLUSION OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY IN APPRAISALS AND, THEREFORE, THE CONSTRUCTION AND SALE OF ENERGY EFFICIENT, SUSTAINABLE HOUSING; AND EXPLORED THE MULTI-FACETED TOPIC OF RESILIENCY IN OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENT, WHICH IS GROWING IN IMPORTANCE AS CLIMATE CHANGE LEADS TO MORE EXTREME WEATHER. 167504 SUSTAINABLE BIOMASS AND ENERGY PROGRAM: THE SUSTAINABLE BIOMASS AND ENERGY (SBE) PROGRAM SEEKS TO ADVANCE RENEWABLE BIOENERGY (BIOFUELS AND BIOMASS) AS AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT IN AMERICA'S CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION STRATEGY, AND AS A WAY TO REDUCE ITS DEPENDENCE ON OIL. IN 2013, EESI SUCCESSFULLY PROMOTED AND DEFENDED A STRONG ENERGY TITLE IN THE NEW FARM BILL, WHICH PROVIDES FUNDS FOR SEVERAL BIOENERGY PROGRAMS; PROMOTED AND DEFENDED THE FARM BILL'S CONSERVATION TITLE, WHICH PLAYS A CENTRAL ROLE IN ADVANCING SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES; AND ADVOCATED THE PRESERVATION OF THE RENEWABLE FUEL STANDARD TO SUPPORT THE EMERGING DOMESTIC BIOFUELS INDUSTRY. OUR WEEKLY NEWSLETTER, "SUSTAINABLE BIOENERGY, FARMS, AND FOREST," NOW HAS MORE THAN 2,700 SUBSCRIBERS. 122564 TRANSPORTATION AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES PROGRAM:THE GOAL OF THE TRANSPORTATION AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES (TSC) PROGRAM IS TWO-FOLD: TO ADVANCE SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION POLICIES (CLEANER VEHICLES AND FUELS, PUBLIC TRANSIT, BIKING, WALKING), AND TO HELP COMMUNITIES MAKE GREATER USE OF LOCAL RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES AND ENERGY EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES AND DESIGNS. IN 2013, EESI SHOWCASED PROPOSED COMPLETE STREETS LEGISLATION AND MULTI-MODAL STREET DESIGN THAT CREATES SAFE STREETS FOR ALL USERS (SUCH AS BICYCLISTS, PEDESTRIANS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION RIDERS); BROUGHT ATTENTION TO THE PROBLEMS WITH AND OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THE NATION'S FUNDING MECHANISM FOR TRANSIT AND ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE; AND CONTINUED STRATEGIC OUTREACH FOR THE EXPANSION OF ON-BILL FINANCING, BASED ON OUR PARTICIPATION IN A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL PILOT PROJECT IN SOUTH CAROLINA, AN INNOVATIVE FINANCING MECHANISM TO SCALE UP RESIDENTIAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY. THE FARM BILL NOW INCLUDES A NEW TITLE AUTHORIZING THIS VALUABLE ON-BILL FINANCING APPROACH. 122564 829071 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 18 18 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AZ CA CT FL GA IL KS KY MA MD ME MI NC NH NJ NM NY OH OK OR PA RI SC TN TX UT VA WI WA WV ND MS MN DC CO AR HI X X DAVID ROBISON - DIR OF FINANCE 2026281400 1112 16TH STREET NW SUITE 300 WASHINGTON DC 200364819 JARED BLUM CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 RICHARD L OTTINGER CHAIR EMERITUS 0.50 X X 0 0 0 JOHN J SHEEHAN VICE-CHAIR 0.50 X X 0 0 0 SHELLEY FIDLER SECRETARY/TREASURER 0.50 X X 0 0 0 DR RICHARD E BENEDICK DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 QUINCALEE BROWN DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 FRANCIS S BUCHHOLZER DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 ELLIOTT LAWS DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 ROGER DUNCAN DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 DR ROSINA M BIERBAUM DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 DR JOHN H GIBBONS DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 CHRIS SCHEPIS DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 KEN CONNOLLY DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 CLAUDINE SCHNEIDER DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 LINDA CHURCH-CIOCCI DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 MONTY COOPER DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 LAURA KALICK DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 DAVID TERRY DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 CAROL WERNER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 50.00 X 107750 0 24376 107750 0 24376 1 0 0 0 0 57020 491820 548840 78654 78654 1714239 1575551 138688 138688 138688 766182 0 0 217342 134375 119594 6718 8063 458214 394898 17064 46252 30413 26151 1106 3156 56063 48420 2040 5603 40959 35522 1627 3810 16147 13468 885 1794 18467 18467 26250 24109 641 1500 28036 24088 993 2955 126250 109493 5014 11743 2972 2185 568 219 3318 3112 46 160 18964 16447 753 1764 7555 6552 300 703 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 10624 5032 140 5452 978607 829071 56362 93174 53851 145287 17434 6463 251018 35447 20009 10333 34153 30705 223867 128667 83619 95200 2946366 3053731 9890 9890 3416340 3387056 88988 86321 111093 98362 200081 184683 X 2757963 2945720 458296 256653 3216259 3202373 3416340 3387056 -212425 198539 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 983513 1127439 913489 835452 548840 4408733 983513 1127439 913489 835452 548840 4408733 380000 448858 425000 547421 120000 1921279 0 380000 448858 425000 547421 120000 1921279 2487454 79894 65496 77510 103060 78654 404614 79894 65496 77510 103060 78654 404614 1360 597 12375 14332 1064767 1193532 1003374 938512 627494 4827679 0.51520 0.50530 0.08380 0.08430 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 978607 978607 171791 42948 0 0 165903 179900 171552 171791 689146 1033719 41476 44975 42888 42948 172287 258431 132670 77230 55440 91197 51437 39760 95200 DEFERRED RENT 98362 98362 X 964721 198539 198539 766182 0 766182 978607 0 978607 0 978607 PART X, LINE 2: EESI REQUIRES THAT A TAX POSITION BE RECOGNIZED OR DERECOGNIZED BASED ON A "MORE LIKELY-THAN-NOT" THRESHOLD.
