Among the welcome requirements for federal agencies and buildings.
30% reduction in vehicle fleet petroleum use by 2020
26% improvement in water efficiency by 2020
50% recycling and waste diversion by 2015
95% of all applicable contracts will meet sustainability requirements
Implementation of the 2030 net-zero-energy building requirement
