To address the need for a comprehensive guide for procuring green building products and construction services within the U.S. federal government, the Environmental Protection Agency partnered with the Federal Environmental Executive and the Whole Building Design Guide to develop this online tool. The "Federal Green Construction Guide for Specifiers" addresses the need for a comprehensive approach for procuring green building products and construction services within the federal government. The guide is designed to help federal agencies meet their project-specific environmental goals and mandates, including:

• Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings Memorandum of Understanding
  
  
• EPA's Final Guidance on Environmentally Preferable Purchasing
  
  
• Greening of Government Executive Orders
  
  
• EPA's Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines for Recovered Content
  
  
• USDA's Biobased Purchasing Program
  
  
• Energy Star and DOE Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) Product Efficiency Recommendations
  
  
• Energy Policy Act of 2005

Also find information on ASTM, LEED, and other ratings systems and standards, plus best practices as determined by industry and public comment.
