Working Groups

To drive our mission forward, several targeted working groups coordinate market transformation efforts that delve into specific market barriers and opportunities for advanced window solutions.

Each working group is designed to support these goals and to provide resources that serve as tools to help facilitate market transformation across the PAWS initiative. Working group leaders and the PAWS leadership team will uphold these strategic interventions in ways that support its mission.

Windows Performance

This group works with stakeholders to support and create market transformation opportunities for high-performance primary and attachment window products through engagement in regulatory and certification processes.

Utility Program Collaboration

This group partners with stakeholders—including the Attachments Energy Rating Council (AERC)—to support and create utility programs that inspire the promotion of high-performance and attachment window products.

Special Projects

This group partners with stakeholders across all building sectors to raise awareness and drive the adoption of high-performance windows by supporting, expanding, and developing education and incentive campaigns.

Commercial Secondary Windows

The PAWS CSW Working Group works with utilities, manufacturers, national laboratories, and related industry stakeholders to drive adoption of high-performance commercial window attachment products.

Affordability

The PAWS Affordability Working Group will leverage existing resources and conduct research and analysis to demonstrate the NEBs of advanced windows solutions and spur market adoption in low and moderate income (LMI) communities.

Outreach

The PAWS Outreach Working Group identifies, evaluates, and takes action for applicable outreach events, and prepares materials to meet the needs of the PAWS Working Groups.
