To our valued clients and
associates,
We would like to announce
the closure of Britt/Makela Group,
Inc on October 31, 2009. It has
been our privilege to work with you for the
last 8 years to promote energy
code and above code programs on a state
and national level through our
efforts at BMG especially in Idaho, Nevada
and Utah. Eric will continue to
work on behalf of the Northwest Codes Group
and New Buildings Institute
through the ICC Code Development Hearings in Baltimore.
We would also like to announce our move to Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. We will be part of U.S. DOE's Building Energy Codes Program where we will continue to assist efforts in the promotion of building energy efficiency.
Michelle will also be continuing her work on beyond code programs, and looks forward to seeing everyone at Greenbuild 2009.
We are excited about working with everyone in our new positions and collaborating with the talented staff in the BECP on a national level.
Eric will be available at Eric@BrittMakela.com, through the end of October, and Eric.Makela@pnl.gov. thereafter.
Michelle is available at Michelle.Britt@pnl.gov.
