Project Description
The Penn State Office of Physical Plant (OPP) and Penn State Sustainability are collaborating with the
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the Department of Conservation and
Natural Resources (DCNR), and the PA GreenGov Council to develop building sustainability guidelines
for the Pennsylvania Department of General Services (DGS) Capital Programs. These guidelines aim to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, and embodied carbon in construction materials,
while promoting renewable energy and reducing life cycle costs. The guidelines will be integrated into
current capital project processes and support ongoing professional development in sustainable design
and construction principles.
