Leading by Example Greenhouse Gas Reduction Initiatives

State facilities have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2012. LBE is working towards further reducing emissions by 40% by 2020 and 80% by 2050.

LBE initiatives supporting the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions at state facilities include but are not limited to:

• Data collection, analysis, and modeling for energy consumption and GHG emissions at state facilities
• Technical assistance and preliminary analyses for agencies interested in fuel switching or generating renewable energy
• Grant funding for clean energy feasibility studies and solar photovoltaic canopies, reducing on-site GHG emissions from grid electricity
