See Course Offerings and Registration Information
On October 5, 2009, President Obama signed Executive Order (EO) 13514, to “establish an integrated strategy towards sustainability in the Federal Government and to make reduction of greenhouse gas emissions a priority for Federal agencies.”
The EO requires Federal agencies to set a 2020 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target; increase energy efficiency; reduce fleet petroleum consumption; conserve water; reduce waste; support sustainable communities; and leverage Federal purchasing power to promote environmentally-responsible products and technologies. The EO also requires agencies to conduct an annual greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, including scope 1, scope 2, and specified scope 3 emissions. Inventories must be disclosed on the GHG Reporting Portal.
This two-day course was developed to help Federal agency staff in meeting EO 13514, near term requirements and achieving reduction targets. The course provides insight and methodologies for performing, evaluating, and monitoring GHG inventory efforts and the use of Federal calculation tools where applicable. In addition to GHG inventories, the course will provide the principals and methods regarding the other aspects of EO 13514, including Environmental Management Systems (EMS) overlap, reducing water consumption intensity, advancing integrated planning, sustainable building design, sustainable acquisition, electronics stewardship, energy conservation, water conservation, and pollution prevention.
