Letter: USGBC & More Than 1200Signatories Ask GSA to Continue toUse LEEDPublished on 25 Jul 2012 Posted in Advocacy and policy

July 25, 2012

Acting Administrator Daniel Tangherlini U.S. General Services Administration One Constitution Square 1275 First Street, NE Washington, DC 20417

Dear Acting Administrator Tangherlini,

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is to be commended for itsleadership in improving energy and environmental performance across its federalbuilding portfolio. The recently released sustainability and energy “scorecard” bythe Office of Management and Budget (OMB) demonstrates just how successfulGSA has been at reducing costs, improving efficiency and eliminating waste.

25 Apr 2013 ‑ 13 Mar 2017 ▾ About this capture

GSA earned the highest rating in all categories in the 2011 sustainabilityscorecard released from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).GSA reduced emissions from federal buildings more than 20 percentcompared with 2008. That incredible reduction led all federal agencies.GSA is ahead of schedule in reducing its potable water and electricity use.

These efforts are paying off in real terms. According to the OMB, investments inefficiency over the last four years are expected to save $18 billion in energy costsover the life of the projects.

In an effort to continue this success, GSA is evaluating the building rating tools atits disposal, as required by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.LEED is the most widely used high‐performance building rating system in theUnited States. The private sector uses LEED to both verify and communicate thequality of high performance buildings. If GSA, as the “landlord of the federalgovernment,” were to require or use something else, it would add cost to thebuilding and leasing process across the building industry. We are not in favor ofadding cost.

Again, we commend your agency for its success in reducing the operating cost andimpact of the federal building stock. We support your continuation of the rating toolevaluation process and focus on the usability, market acceptance, andeffectiveness of rating tools rather than distractions focused on a single issue.

Thank you for your consideration of our views.
