Research has shown that the quality of indoor environments can affect the health, safety, and productivity of the people who occupy them. Buildings are also resource intensive, accounting for 40 percent of primary energy use in the United States, 12 percent of water consumption, and 60 percent of all non-industrial waste. The processes for producing electricity at power plants and delivering it for use in buildings account for 40 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. The U.S. federal government manages approximately 429,000 buildings of many types with a total square footage of 3.34 billion worldwide, of which about 80 percent is owned space. More than 30 individual departments and agencies are responsible for managing these buildings. The characteristics of each agency's portfolio of facilities are determined by its mission and its programs. In 2010, GSA's Office of Federal High-Performance Green Buildings asked the National Academies to appoint an ad hoc committee of experts to conduct a public workshop and prepare a report that identified strategies and approaches for achieving a range of objectives associated with high-performance green federal buildings. Achieving High-Performance Federal Facilities identifies examples of important initiatives taking place and available resources. The report explores how these examples could be used to help make sustainability the preferred choice at all levels of decision making. Achieving High-Performance Federal Facilities can serve as a valuable guide federal agencies with differing missions, types of facilities, and operating procedures. 606 $aPublic buildings$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aSustainable buildings$zUnited States$vCongresses 615 0$aPublic buildings 615 0$aSustainable buildings 676 $a725.10472 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on High-Performance Green Federal Buildings: Strategies and Approaches for Meeting Federal Objectives. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Infrastructure and the Constructed Environment. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bDivision on Engineering and Physical Sciences. 712 12$aFederal High-Performance Green Facilities Workshop$f(2010 :$eWashington, D.C.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963073503321 996 $aAchieving high-performance federal facilities$94352545 997 $aUNINA
