3 Executive Order Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance

4 EO Objectives a brighter future for our children and grandchildren. That can be our legacy a legacy of vehicles powered by clean renewable energy traveling past newly opened factories; of industries employing millions in the work of protecting ti our planet; of an economy exporting the energy of the future instead of importing the energy of the past; of a nation once again leading the world to meet the challenges of our time. - President Barack Obama 4

5 EO Objectives Embrace responsibility to lead by example Demonstrate that reducing ggreenhouse gas emissions saves energy and money Leverage agency acquisitions to foster emerging g green technologies, products, and businesses Strengthen community vitality 5

6 EO Goals Reduce Green House Gas Emissions Increase Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Increase Water Conservation Reduce Petroleum Use in Fleet Vehicles Promote Pollution Prevention Advance Sustainable Acquisitions Promote Electronic Stewardship Sustain Environmental Management 6

7 EO Specific Targets Reduce energy use by 3% from FY2006 baseline with total of 30% reduction by 2015 Increase use of renewable energy 3% FY 2007 FY2009 5% FY2010 FY2012 7% FY Decrease water use 2% annually from 2007 baseline, a total of 20% by end of FY2020 Recycle at least 50% construction debris 7

8 EO Specific Targets Continued Recycle at least 50% solid waste Agency must develop goal to reduce Scope 1& 2 GHG and another goal for Scope 3 Reduce petroleum use 2% annually through FY2020 New federal buildings and renovations must achieve 55% reduction in fossil fuels by 2010 and 100% by 2030 Beginning 2020, new federal buildings entering the planning process are designed to be zero-net-energy by
