Title:
Energy-Efficient Product Procurement: A Guide to Developing and Implementing Greenhouse Gas Reduction Programs
Abstract:
Readers of the guide should come away with an understanding of how to develop an energy-efficient product procurement program, the types of energy-efficient products that are available for local government facilities and operations, and an awareness of expected costs and funding opportunities.
The guide describes the energy, environmental,
economic, and other benefits of energy-efficient
product procurement (section 2); energy-efficient
product procurement measures (section 3); key participants
and their roles (section 4); the policy mechanisms
that local governments have used to support
energy-efficient product procurement programs
(section 5); implementation strategies for effective
programs (section 6); costs and funding opportunities
(section 7); federal, state, and other programs that
provide resources to help local governments plan and
implement energy-efficient product procurement
(section 8); and two case studies of comprehensive
local government programs for energy-efficient
product procurement (section 9). Additional examples
of successful energy-efficient product procurement
and information resources are provided throughout
the guide.
