Sustainability. The County desires to further its commitment to sustainability through encouraging our vendors to adopt this business philosophy. Improving energy efficiency is a first step toward achieving sustainability in buildings and organizations. Energy efficiency helps control rising energy costs, reduces environmental footprints, and increases the value and competitiveness of the vendors. This means getting the most out of every single unit of energy, water, materials, and resources used in their business. Green concepts and practices the A-E should consider for the day-to-day operations include the following: Develop a plan for sustainability. Retrofitting current systems/buildings for increased energy efficiency. Selecting energy efficient products and technologies for buildings. Exploring renewable energy services, Understanding efficient water solutions. Reducing your organization’s carbon footprint. Utilize green suppliers/vendors. Attending energy efficient and sustainability events and associated programs. Recycling and resource recovery. Diversion and reuse. The A-E should consider sustainability for incorporation into their work product. Sustainability objectives should be identified by the A-E for use as a basis for its design. These sustainability objectives should then be reviewed by the A-E with OC Waste & Recycling for each individual project undertaking. Use of recycled products. Reuse on-site materials where available. Utilize green sub-A-E. Identify and utilize energy efficient products. Minimize use of raw materials/products. Establish a life cycle costing methodology for projects. Cost and value appropriately sustainability options.
