A mesage from John Loyer, CEO...

As one of the most successful industry advocates in the US, I am the 2019 recipient of the Reed Award for Best Trade Association Grassroots Effort, I have 20+ years of extensive issue and advocacy experience for industry in international, federal, state, and local government affairs.  Up until Dec 31st of 2020, I was head all State and Local Gov’t. Affairs as Senior Vice President of the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association and managed their “Build With Strength” coalition where I had the honor of sitting on Gov. Phil Murphy’s (D- NJ) transition team in 2017.

I have served as head of state government affairs for the American Institute of Architects (AIA), where I spearheaded the effort to create the International Green Construction Code in partnership with the ICC.  While there, I also oversaw all legislative and regulatory efforts including all fifty state chapters’ strategic agendas and PACs for the Institute nationwide, addressing such business issues as sustainability legislation, licensing standards, building code advocacy, and was responsible for authoring the carbon neutrality model laws currently adopted in Minnesota, Puerto Rico, and Washington, as well as the carbon neutrality policy then adopted by the National Governor's Association. 

Before joining AIA, I was head of all government and regulatory affairs for a large international foam insulation manufacturer, Icynene Inc. (authoring the section in the International Residential Code regulating unvented attics), and prior to that was the first energy and green building state and local advocate for the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).  While employed at NAHB, I was responsible for the creation of nation’s first Model Green Home Building Guidelines, now the ICC 700 Standard for green home residential construction. 

I have taught as adjunct faculty at Penn State University’s Pennsylvania Housing Research Center in the School of Engineering and was a guest lecturer at the University Of Maryland School Of Architecture master’s program.  An accomplished public speaker, I have keynoted and presented at numerous conferences throughout the United States. 

My company, Loyer Consulting appeared in the Washington Post in a Capital Business article focused on consulting for small business.  As Owner and CEO, I counted as my clients the International Downtown Association, the Vinyl Siding Institute, the International Code Council, the National Association of Home Builders, the New Buildings Institute, The Modular Building Institute, Consol, Building Quality, Icynene Insulation, and Intercode Inc, among others. In the past as part of one of the many contracts I executed successfully for clients, I was principal editor and secretariat for the internationally-based committee that created the only regulatory guideline for the enforcement of building commissioning, and it is published internationally.  

In 2000, I earned a Masters degree from McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and my Bachelors degree in 1998 from Mercyhurst University in Erie, PA (my hometown).  Most recently, I received an advanced diploma in Legislative Affairs from the Government Affairs Institute of Georgetown University with a focus on interest group politics and advocacy.  I live in Arlington, VA where I served as a Housing Commissioner on the Arlington County Housing Commission from 2011 to 2012.
