Drivers for Sustainability Implementation and Reporting
• 2006 – Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
• 2007 – E.O. 13423 - Specific sustainability goals and reporting requirements
• 2007-2008 – E.O. 13423 implementation embedded into DOE Orders (DOE O 430.2B, DOE O 450.1A, DOE O 413.3A)

Basic Sustainable Building Concepts
• High Performance Sustainable Building (HPSB)
• Guiding Principles
• LEED Gold
![Page 5: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

High Performance Sustainable Building (HPSB)
• A building designed, constructed and capable of being operated in a manner that
– Increases environmental performance and economic value over time,
– Safeguards the health of occupants, and – Enhances satisfaction and productivity of workers
through integration of environmentally-preferred building materials, and water-efficient and energy-efficient systems.
• For DOE, Green Building is shorthand for HPSB

HPSB Guiding Principles
The 2006 MOU identified the following five Guiding Principles:
1. Employ Integrated Design Principles
2. Optimize Energy Performance
3. Protect and Conserve Water
4. Enhance Indoor Environmental Quality
5. Reduce Environmental Impact of Materials
![Page 7: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

LEED Gold
• LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a third-party certification program for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings.
• The U.S. Green Building Council awards LEED certification to buildings according to the number of points (out of 100) received in categories that reflect the Guiding Principles. (LEED Gold requires between 60 and 79 points.)

New Constructionat DOE
• All new building construction projects must comply with the Guiding Principles
• Building projects over $5M (new construction and major renovation) must achieve LEED Gold certification
![Page 10: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Existing Buildings
• DOE Program Offices owning or leasing real property must develop and implement a plan to ensure that 15 % of their existing buildings are in compliance with the Guiding Principles by the end of FY 2015
• Requirement flows down to DOE sites
![Page 11: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Leasing
• New leases are to include a preference for buildings certified as LEED Gold
• Renegotiations or extensions of existing leases are to include lease provisions that support the Guiding Principles
• Leased buildings are included in the 15% goal

Department-wide Coordination
The HPSB Working Group• Cross-cutting, with members from
– All real-property-owning DOE programs– Key support offices– Several DOE sites
• Meets biweekly• Coordinates implementation of HPSB goals• Develops and implements tools and strategies to
incorporate HPSB into buildings and leases
![Page 15: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Tools
The DOE Existing Building Assessment Tool (EBAT)• Facilitates and documents compliance with
the Guiding Principles• Is available to all sites • Uses a modified LEED® Existing Building
Operations and Maintenance project checklist to match LEED credits to corresponding Guiding Principles
• Creates a summary table to track compliance with the Guiding Principles
![Page 16: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

TrainingDevelopment
• Sustainable design principles
• LEED rating system
• Existing Buildings Assessment Tool
• New sustainability elements in FIMS (to track assessment results)
![Page 18: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Implementation Process Site Level
• Determine candidate inventory (all buildings > 1,000 square feet not outgranted or excessed by 2015)
• Assess candidate inventory to identify buildings that will meet the 15% goal, e.g., buildings that – Have already received a LEED plaque– Will be built to LEED gold or higher by 2015– Can be upgraded to meet the GPs
• For buildings to be upgraded, estimate costs, integrate into site planning and budgeting, track and report progress
![Page 19: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Tracking Progress
• FIMS is key to sustainability tracking and reporting
• Sites enter building-specific assessment results into FIMS
• FIMS includes fields that allow for up-to-date documentation of assessment results, LEED-certified buildings, and other buildings that meet the Guiding Principles
![Page 20: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Sustainability Fields in FIMS
![Page 21: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Reporting Progress within DOE
• OECM aggregates FIMS data for reporting progress at the site and program level
• OECM reports FIMS data to – The FRPP, which has adopted the FIMS
sustainability fields– HSS, which analyzes progress toward
meeting the 15% goal and incorporates the FIMS data into “scorecard” input for OMB
![Page 22: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Reporting Progress to OMB – the Scorecard
• OMB issues scorecards to each Federal Agency in two areas– President’s Management Agenda (Human Capital,
Competitive Sourcing, Financial Performance, E-Government, Real Property)
– Greening the Government (Environmental Stewardship, Energy, Transportation)
• OMB uses a stoplight scoring systemGreen for success Yellow for mixed results Red for unsatisfactory
![Page 23: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
FIMS Provides the Data for Scorecard Reports
• HSS analyzes the FIMS data, adds narrative to address specific OMB questions, and submits, in conjunction with the SAO, the resulting report to OMB
• OMB evaluates the submission and assigns a single sustainable buildings score for the Department – Green, Yellow, or Red
![Page 24: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
The Environmental Stewardship Scorecard
The Environmental Stewardship Scorecard contains four metrics, one of which is for Green Buildings • Sustainable Design/Green Buildings• Environmental Management Systems• Green Purchasing• Electronics Stewardship
![Page 25: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
OMB Scoring for Green Buildings
Green: Implements Guiding principles and is on track to meet the 15% goal by 2015
Yellow: Implements Guiding Principles on all new building projects & leased space
Red: Cannot demonstrate compliance with guiding principles for new construction, major renovations, or leases and/or has not developed a sustainable building program

Getting to Green: Success Factors
• Senior leadership commitment• Line management ownership• Use of existing systems (FIMS, EMS,
Directives) • Integration across organizations and
functions (HPSBWG, EERE, FEMP)• Tools and assistance (EBAT, training)• Leadership at DOE sites and laboratories• Persistence
![Page 31: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Keeping Green: Observations
• Sustainability cuts across programs/sites
• Sustainability involves design and construction and operations, maintenance, and disposition
• Sustainability is broader than green buildings – EMS
• Because sustainability is inherently crosscutting, teamwork is critical
![Page 32: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Challenges for 2009 and Beyond – External Changes
• Implications of a new Executive Order – New reporting requirements?– New scoring methods?– Other?
• Will changes to LEED or the Guiding Principles require changes to FIMS?
![Page 33: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Challenges for 2009 and Beyond – Coordination
• How can (or should) FIMS sustainability reporting be coordinated with other DOE databases and reports?– PARS– Ten-Year Site Plans– Executable Plans– Other
![Page 34: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Challenges for 2009 and Beyond – Reporting Aids
• Can improvements be made to facilitate reporting?– Move results from the building assessment
tool directly to FIMS– Add more or different fields– Provide more or different training– Provide more or different guidance
![Page 35: Sustainability (Green Building) Status and Reporting FIMS Real Estate Workshop June 2, 2009 Memphis, TN Thomas Traceski Director, Office of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062621/551bf5c5550346a34f8b4665/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Challenges for 2009 andBeyond – Validation
• Sites are to validate sustainability data annually
• How will validation of sustainability data be conducted?– DOE is incorporating sustainability data review into
the FIMS validation process – HQ teams will include review of sustainability data– Focus on buildings claiming to meet the Guiding
Principles– Reviews will follow the criteria embedded in the DOE
Building Assessment Tool

36
Challenges for 2009 and Beyond – Greenhouse Gases
• Can FIMS be used to track Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions?• Buildings are DOE’s largest emissions source• Significant opportunities for GHG reductions
• Since avoiding emissions is a component of GHG management, can sustainable building information in FIMS be used to estimate avoided GHG emissions?
