ENERGY EFFICIENT PURCHASING POLICY
Frostburg State University requires the purchase of energy efficient products and
equipment. Equipment purchases that are Energy Star-certified or that meet other
nationally accepted standards of energy efficiency should be made whenever financially
feasible. Departments should consider both short-term and long-term costs when
choosing between highly efficient products and less efficient counterparts.
The procurement department may review purchases for compliance with this policy.
Any department purchasing less efficient products or equipment may be required to
report to the procurement office the reason for such purchase and indicate why an Energy
Star- certified or other energy efficient product was not chosen.
