A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with sustainable building operation and maintenance guidelines and policies:

The campus Physical Plant and the Purchasing department are overseeing and will provide an annual report to the State of NY.

On April 28, 2008, New York Gov. Paterson signed an Executive Order establishing a New York State "Green Procurement and Agency Sustainability Program," to promote policies within state agencies and authorities that reduce the consumption of materials and energy and reduce potential impacts on public health and the environment. As a result, SUNY is required, where applicable, to purchase environmentally-friendly commodities, services and technology and develop sustainability and stewardship programs.

Executive Order 4 established an Interagency Committee on Sustainability and Green Procurement that is co-chaired by the Commissioner of General Services (OGS) and the Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). OGS hosts the NYS State Green Procurement and Agency Sustainability Program website. Additionally, Environmentally Preferable Purchasing information is available on the OGS site.

Information about Executive Order No. 111, "Directing State Agencies, State Authorities, and Other Affected Entities to be More Energy Efficient and Environmentally Aware;" and Executive Order No.142," Directing State Agencies, and Authorities to Diversify Fuel and Heating Oil Supplies Through the Use of Biofuels in State Vehicles and Buildings can be found on NYS Energy Research and Development Authority's (NYSERDA) website.

OGS offers two additional websites NYS Green Cleaning Program and Green Purchasing that may be helpful in your efforts to comply with these Executive Orders.

New York State is also member of the Northeast Recycling Council whose "mission is to advance an environmentally sustainable economy by promoting source and toxicity reduction, recycling, and the purchasing of environmentally preferable products and services."
