NAIMA Forms New Advocacy Council

In response to Congress’ current focus on energy policy, climate policy, and job creation, the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA), which focuses on fiberglass and mineral wool insulation, has created a special council to engage with legislators. Chaired by industry leaders and operating within the trade association, the Council of NAIMA hopes to unite the insulation industry by “promoting the use of insulation to achieve energy savings and attendant environmental and economic benefits.” In addition to advocating for energy efficiency policies and programs, the Council will focus its lobbying efforts on creating jobs in the industry, incentivizing insulation retrofits, and increasing insulation requirements for codes and standards, with attention paid to those that support net-zero building. Council membership is open to all types of insulation manufacturers and their suppliers. For more information, visit www.naima.org/council.
