Class B buildings need love, too! And collectively, they represent a huge energy savings opportunity while helping owners lower operating costs and increase operating income.
🏢 America’s biggest building opportunity is already standing.
⚡ NEMA’s @ToddBobSims explains how LEDs, controls, VFDs & other phased upgrades can cut costs, improve performance & ease grid strain — without a full renovation.

🏢 NEW: America’s biggest building opportunity is already standing.
⚡ In a new NEMA blog, our own @ToddBobSims explains how upgrading existing buildings can lower operating costs, strengthen grid flexibility & increase property value.

Maybe let’s not sign off emails with “warm regards” while it’s 140 degrees across most of the country. Everything is warm currently, including your regards and wishes.
Sen. Pallone would do far better to look toward the example of his own Governor, Mikie Sherrill, who last month released a much more productive framework of data center development guardrails. nj.gov/governor/news/2026/20…

⚡️RIGHT NOW: NEMA, @ASHRAEnews & @PNNLab release the AI Data Center Energy Performance Framework—a new resource linking standards, guidance & best practices for safe, reliable data center development.
🔌 Built for the infrastructure behind the AI economy.makeitelectric.org/newsroom/…
🤗It’s finally here! Visualizing the electroindustry innovations power AI & data centers mapped to specific guidance for their safe & effective installation for hyperscalers, developers, and constructors.
⚡️Excited to roll this out to everyone at @TheGBIorg’s Data Center Summit
⚡️ AI runs on electrical infrastructure: transformers, switchgear, power distribution, fire & life safety tech, and the skilled manufacturers behind them.
🔌 Explore NEMA’s new interactive data center map.
✅ Designed to help developers, operators, and contractors deploy these systems safely and effectively in fast-changing data center environments. makeitelectric.org/infrastru…
Electrical Safety Month is coming up in May! @NEMAupdates & @ESFIdotorg have tons of great resources to keep you safe from electrical hazards

Thanks to @FacilitiesDive for including NEMA’s Todd Sims on the transition of ENERGY STAR to @ENERGY.
Our view is clear: the program works, the expertise matters & the transition should ensure ENERGY STAR keeps delivering savings & value for Americans.

Energy Star—the federal program behind the blue label on efficient appliances & buildings—is moving to the Department of @Energy. Aligning it with the agency that sets efficiency standards makes sense.
Now the focus is on a smooth, transparent transition. facilitiesdive.com/news/ener…
Love buildings, efficiency, and electrification? Let's ham-and-egg it. JOB: @NEMAupdates Managing Technical Director, Built Environment & Industrial/Core linkedin.com/jobs/view/43727…
Was pleased to represent @NEMAupdates at a roundtable hosted by @repdarrellissa today to talk about strengthening the Pro Codes Act. The country’s leading Standards Development Organizations are grateful for his leadership on protecting the copyright of standards.
Thrilled to be representing @NEMAupdates today at @WELLcertified 's Healthy Building Policy Summit! So many good friends all in one place!
You know what would help... the $40 Billion in annual savings from @EPA and @ENERGY's @ENERGYSTAR program! 💡💡
Another compelling reason for energy efficiency as a first principle for demand-side management - good for the grid, good for families’ pocketbooks!
⚡️ Household electricity prices are rising due to growing electrification, outdated infrastructure, and delays in bringing new capacity online.
If you’re worried about your energy bill, see what our very own EVP of Energy David Hill has to say to CNBC: “It’s a pretty simple story: It’s a story of supply and demand.”

NEMA urges Congress to sustain the voluntary, bipartisan @ENERGYSTAR program as a key federal partnership driving energy efficiency and innovation. As electricity demand climbs—fueled by AI, e-mobility, data centers, and expanded manufacturing, ENERGY STAR’s market-driven approach reduces peak load, lowers consumer bills, and frees grid capacity for future growth. dropbox.com/scl/fi/4m44mur3p…
Proud to have lead the effort to get @NEMAupdates signed on to this important letter defending @ENERGYSTAR
