Executive Order 13514 “Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance” requires all Federal agencies to accomplish specific sustainability goals. (2009 – 2015) EO 13514 also requires all Federal agencies write an implementation strategy Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan (SSPP) NEW: EO 13693 “Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade” enhances our goals. o Reducing scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions (scope 3 is
completely new because it’s a hard one to track). o Targeting net zero buildings for new construction by FY2020 o Increasing use of renewable energy to 25% by 2025. o Reduce potable water consumption intensity by 36% by 2025. o Fuel efficiency of fleet vehicles increased by 30% by 2025. o Divert at least 50% of non-hazardous & C&D waste. o Evaluate climate-resilient design & management of buildings.

Definition of Sustainability In 1987, the United Nations World Commission on
Environment and Development stated sustainability is “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

Focus on Transportation Air – • Scope 3 GHG emissions tracking plan not yet determined. • Encouraging cycling to and through JSC • Promoting telework and flex Friday options to reduce
personal travel of employees
Energy – • JSC opened Houston’s first Ethanol (E85)
fuel-dispensing facility in 2004. • We were second in the federal fleet in
Texas to use E85. • Expecting first NASA JSC electric car from
GSA Fall 2015
Land – • 8 Certified LEED buildings (with another 2 on the way)
Parking for bicycles, vanpool, & alternative fuel vehicles Showers in many of the buildings for cyclists
• Investigating electric car charging for personal vehicles.

Cycling To/Through JSC Created JSC Cycling Forum
1. Inside the gates • Free Range Bikes (100+) • Bike Lanes • Awareness • Round Up • Racks, Pumps & Tools
2. Outside the gates • Advocates to COH
Bike Lanes Clean up
3. Mentoring/Peer-to-peer • Bike Buddies • Shower sites • Events • Fitness Rides
4. Cycling Tech
