Sustainable Design

GSA is committed to incorporating principles of sustainable design and energy efficiency into all of its building projects. The result is an optimal balance of cost, environmental, societal and human benefits while meeting the mission and function of the intended facility.

Sustainable design seeks to reduce negative impacts on the environment, and the health and comfort of building occupants. The basic objectives of sustainability are to reduce consumption of non-renewable resources, minimize waste, and create healthy, productive environments.

LEED Building

In a result of the 2006 evaluation by GSA of sustainable building rating systems, the Administrator concluded that Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) remains the most credible rating systems available to meet GSA’s needs. GSA has therefore continued to evaluate building designs and all newly owned construction, major renovations and build-to-suit leasing require a LEED silver rating or higher.
