The Sustainable Buildings Initiative, a collaborative effort between the GreenGov Council and Penn State Sustainability, aims to promote energy conservation, sustainable governance, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across Commonwealth agencies. It focuses on achieving performance goals through high-performance buildings, fleet electrification, annual energy reductions, and renewable electricity use. The initiative is supported by the development of training modules covering integrated design, energy, material science, indoor air quality, water efficiency, sustainable sites, embodied carbon, and green leasing, with the vision of driving buildings towards Net Zero waste, energy, and water, and ultimately a positive environmental impact.

This document provides an update on the GreenGov Program's efforts to enhance sustainability within Commonwealth operations, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet Paris Climate Goals. It outlines progress on four primary objectives: reducing energy consumption by 3% annually, replacing the passenger fleet with electric and plug-in hybrids by 2025, procuring 40% renewable electricity (with the Pennsylvania Pulse Project expected to contribute significantly by 2023), and building green facilities. The update also covers communication strategies and the work of various focus groups addressing utility management, EV and charging infrastructure, high-performance construction and leasing, green facility management, sustainability teams, and environmentally preferred products and materials.
