H. Res. 1407 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
June 22, 2010. 
Whereas the High-Performance Building Congressional Cau-
cus Coalition has declared the week of June 13 through 
June 19, 2010, as ‘‘High-Performance Building Week’’; 
Whereas the House of Representatives has recognized the im-
portance of high-performance buildings through the inclu-
sion of a definition of high-performance buildings in the 
Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007; 
Whereas our homes, offices, schools, and other buildings con-
sume 40 percent of the primary energy and 70 percent 
of the electricity in the United States annually; 
Whereas buildings consume about 12 percent of the potable 
water in this country; 
Whereas the construction of buildings and their related infra-
structure consumes approximately 60 percent of all raw 
materials used in the United States economy; 
Whereas buildings account for 39 percent of United States 
carbon dioxide emissions a year, approximately equaling 
the combined carbon emissions of Japan, France, and the 
United Kingdom; 
Whereas Americans spend about 90 percent of their time in-
doors;
•HRES 1407 EH 
Whereas the value of all United States construction alone 
represents more than 13 percent of the Nation’s Gross 
Domestic Product and the value of the Nation’s struc-
tures is estimated at over $28 trillion; 
Whereas poor indoor environmental quality is detrimental to 
the health of all Americans, especially our children and 
the elderly; 
Whereas high-performance buildings promote higher student 
achievement by providing better lighting, a more com-
fortable indoor environment, and improved ventilation 
and indoor air quality; 
Whereas high-performance residential and commercial build-
ing design and construction should effectively guard 
against natural and human-caused events and disasters, 
including fire, water, wind, noise, crime, and terrorism; 
Whereas high-performance buildings, which address human, 
environmental, economic, and total societal impact, result 
from the application of the highest level of design, con-
struction, operation, and maintenance principles—a para-
digm change for the built environment; 
Whereas nearly 7,500,000 Americans are employed in the de-
sign, construction, operation, and maintenance sectors 
and require education and training to achieve and main-
tain high performance; and 
Whereas the United States should continue to improve the 
features of new buildings and adapt and maintain exist-
ing buildings to changing balances in our needs and re-
sponsibilities for health, safety, energy and water effi-
ciency, and usability by all segments of society: Now,

Whereas, on April 11, 1970, Apollo 13 was launched with an 
intended destination of Fra Mauro highlands on the 
Moon; 
Whereas on the way to the Moon, roughly 199,990 miles 
from Earth, the number 2 oxygen tank exploded and seri-
ously damaged the Apollo 13 spacecraft; 
Whereas after mission control calculated that a lunar landing 
was impossible, mission control decided to fly a 
circumlunar orbit and use the Moon’s gravity to return 
the ship to Earth; 
Whereas the tireless and heroic work of both mission control 
and the astronauts on board the spacecraft allowed Apol-
lo 13 to safely navigate back to Earth; 
Whereas the heroic work of mission control in Houston, 
Texas, solved a number of unique engineering problems, 
such as using the lunar module as a lifeboat for the crew 
and devising a carbon dioxide control system completely 
from scratch; 
Whereas without the outstanding work of the men and 
women at mission control, the astronauts would most cer-
tainly not have been able to return to Earth safely;
•HRES 1418 IH 
Whereas the number of physicians specializing in treating 
these rare and complex conditions is very small; and 
Whereas many groups have developed to help advocate on the 
behalf of those with craniofacial anomalies and to encour-

craniofacial anomalies: Now, therefore, be it
