About Us
The Energy and Air Quality Advisory Council (EAQAC) is charged with advising the Montgomery County Executive and Council on issues related to energy and air quality. EAQAC was established by Montgomery County Code Chapter 18A-5. The Committee is comprised of 15 County residents appointed by the County Executive and approved by the County Council who volunteer their time and meet once a month to discuss issues and actions.
The Committee has the following duties:
- Advise the County Executive and the County Council on energy and air quality issues
- Develop recommendations to promote and implement immediate and long-range energy and air quality consciousness in all segments of the community
- Comment on or assist in developing programs to meet energy standards and to promote healthy indoor and outdoor air quality
- Identify areas and methods to encourage voluntary participation in energy conservation efforts and air quality improvements
- Educate the public and private sectors about the efficient use of energy and its direct benefits for improved air quality
- Carry out duties assigned from time to time by the County Executive and the County Council.
Meetings
EAQAC meets on the first Wednesday of every month, from 7-9 p.m., at the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection offices (255 Rockville Pike, Suite 120, Rockville, MD 20850). The Committee usually does not meet in August and January.
EAQAC meetings are open to the public. You are welcome to come and join us at our meetings, present information, or simply observe. Please contact us to determine if the Committee is meeting at the designated time and place.
