Cliff Majersik

Biography: Cliff Majersik is IMT’s Senior Advisor. Cliff is a pioneer in reflecting building performance in appraisal, lending, building codes, and building performance policies that have gained national prominence. His advice is often sought on developing legislation, including instrumental work on the first-ever benchmarking and transparency law, the Clean and Affordable Energy Act of 2008 and the first-ever building performance standard, the Clean Energy DC Act of 2018 – both enacted in Washington, D.C. He helped develop benchmarking and BPS laws in dozens of states and cities, including New York, California, St. Louis, Maryland, and Philadelphia, and he helped write the bipartisan, federal Energy Efficiency Improvement Act of 2015. He is also the lead author of IMT’s model building performance standard law, which now serves as the starting point for many state and local bills.
