Healthy, High Performance School Facilities:
Developments in State Policy

Arizona

 

Citation: Arizona Executive Order 2005-05
Effective: February 2005
Available: HERE

This Executive Order establishes that all state-funded buildings shall meet at least the LEED silver-level standard, and directs all executive branch agencies to implement this standard “to the extent practicable.” The Order also establishes energy efficiency and renewable energy goals for state-funded buildings and directs the Arizona School Facilities Board to report annually on progress in meeting those goals.
 

The Innovation in Governance Programs work to develop inventive approaches to new or entrenched environmental problems and changing technologies and economies. The programs focus on four objectives:

  • Investigate and promote innovative approaches to managing government agencies and private businesses that will achieve greater environmental protection.
  • Safeguard and strengthen the safety net of federal environmental law, its enforcement in the courts, and its state implementation through strategic research, education, and outreach.
  • Improve understanding of environmental governance tools by hosting visiting scholars and international delegations.
  • Through ELI’s Center for Business Environmental Strategy, provide information, ideas and tools for corporate environmental lawyers and executives to improve environmental management.
