Recycling and Redesign Waste:
In FY 2012, we implemented single-stream recycling at our
headquarters complex. We continue to conduct research and consider additional options for expanding
our recycling program, such as deploying new recycling stations in high-visibility areas having more foot
traffic.
Purchasing and Managing Environmentally-Sound Electronics:
We purchase desktop computers,
laptops, and monitors that the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool rates as silver or
better. We implemented power management on desktop and laptop computers, allowing computers to
revert to the “sleep” mode during periods of inactivity, thereby reducing power usage and greenhouse
gas emissions. In FY 2013 and FY 2014, we will continue our efforts to purchase and manage
environmentally-friendly electronics.
Converting to Sustainable, “Green” Energy Sources:
We will comply with General Services
Administration guidelines by continuing to explore sustainable energy sources (e.g., solar, wind), and,
where economically feasible, we will meet energy efficiency standards. For example, we are currently
reviewing contracts for installation of electrical meters at our headquarters complex, which will allow us
to determine the most effective use of power.

Data definition:
Energy intensity is energy consumption per square foot of building space. Executive
Order 13514 requires agencies to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions
through reduction of energy intensity by 30 percent by the end of FY 2015 as it relates to the baseline of
the agency’s energy use in FY 2003. We measure the decrease in energy consumption for each fiscal
year against the FY 2003 usage baseline.

Inventory
Note:
The targets shown in the Annual Performance Plan (APP) may differ from the targets shown in
the Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan (SSPP) due to the availability of updated information in the
SSPP that revises projections found in the APP.
