![]() ![]() This paper introduces some of the major challenges to implementing such a broad scale of support for stakeholder engagement, and approaches to overcoming those challenges. A main premise of the CIDER II program is that stakeholder acceptance is necessary for successful D and ER decisions to be made. The goal is to support trust building in D and ER decisions for radioactive contamination and facilities. The intent of this sub-group of CIDER II is to facilitate better sharing of information and knowledge in areas of stakeholder communication, engagement and participation, and a framework for directly using stakeholder more » input in the decision making process. CIDER II is a collaborative project involving a broad range of Member States, large and small, with ongoing and/or planned decommissioning and environmental remediation (D and ER) programs. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has initiated a collaborative effort to promote stakeholder support activities through a stakeholder engagement advisory program (SEAP) as part of Phase II of the Constraints to Implementing Decommissioning and Environmental Remediation (CIDER II) program. This paper will highlight the approaches taken in: program design, engaging industry members, identifying and reaching underserved stakeholders, demonstrating benefits of high performance building envelope technologies and making the case for engaging in this campaign. ![]() The success of the Campaign has depended on constructing a compelling program design plus organizing a technical team with ability to effectively recruit Participants and Supporters from across industry and keep them engaged.The design of the campaign included developing a strategy to leverage other technology campaigns within the Better Buildings program, identifying stakeholders (including diverse member groups that may have been underserved by previous technology campaigns), recruiting Supporters and Participants, and providing technical assistance in the form of a campaign-specific Building Envelope Performance tool and metric to help benchmark various building envelope options.Engagement had to overcome three main challenges – securing the Campaign Supporters/Participants, helping participants to use the envelope tool to evaluate project options, and getting those participants to submit successful envelope projects for evaluation and recognition by the program. The concepts are simple but program design/implementation and, in particular, sustaining stakeholder engagement can more » be challenging. The Building Envelope Campaign (BEC), which is part of the Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Program, is a market transformation effort to help building owners and managers invest in high performance building envelope technologies for both new and existing commercial buildings. Building envelope technologies impact approximately 30% of the primary energy consumed by residential and commercial buildings. ![]()
