Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
ENERGY STAR APPLIANCE NOTES:
New office equipment and new dining appliances are now required to be Energy Star-rated. Stanford continues to work with its suppliers to flag all catalog-ordering items with ENERGY STAR indicators. Much of this information is available on websites on a product-by-product basis, but it is not information provided by the supplier for tracking purposes. Therefore, current purchasing information does not include this detail in its description.
There is no ENERGY STAR metric set up for research-grade ultra low temperature freezers (a large volume purchase for the University), thus the establishment of the Cash for Clunkers freezer retirement program (http://news.stanford.edu/news/2010/june/freezer-retirement-program-060210.html).
FSC-CERTIFIED OFFICE PAPER NOTES:
The Staples house brand 30% and 100% Recycled Copy Paper is FSC Certified. Stanford purchases more than 10,000 reams of Staples Brand Recycled copy paper each year. Stanford purchases both Xerox and HP office paper that is certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (www.sfiprograms.org).
