Preferred specifications

Things to avoid

Purchasers should avoid these specifications whenever possible:

• EO 20-01: State Efficiency and Environmental Performance (SEEP) states, “When making purchasing construction, leasing, and other decisions that affect state government’s emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) or other toxic substances, agencies shall explicitly consider the benefits and costs (including the social costs of carbon) of available options to avoid those emissions. Where cost-effective and workable solutions are available that will reduce or eliminate emissions, decision makers shall select the lower-emissions options.”
