13 Vision: Best “Hometown” in the Army Fort Carson Sustainable Procurement Life-cycle costing & management Costing Presently stuck using EIA energy cost projections that are considered “low” LCA Management (Upstream) Reduces risks of energy-intensity, water-intensity, toxics use that will increase life-cycle costs Puts vendors on notice they need to manage life-cycle since customers care

14 Vision: Best “Hometown” in the Army Fort Carson Sustainable Procurement Sustainability Performance Life-cycle Management System Combines available quantitative data (Environmental Intensity”) with Qualitative assessments of sustainability performance of product and/or producer Purpose: To determine most sustainable substitutes and best producers today and expected in future Compares products and companies to global best practices, not regulations

15 Vision: Best “Hometown” in the Army Fort Carson Sustainable Procurement Definition of Sustainable Products or Services Need to move beyond EPP since: (1) Only one environmental attribute is good enough (2) Doesn’t include producer performance (3) Doesn’t include social performance Better Model: EPEAT System
