GSA’s Green Proving Ground Program: Putting Innovative Building Technologies to the Test
Erika Larsen, GSA Public Buildings ServiceOctober 29th, 2013
Overview
GPG leverages GSA’s real estate portfolio to evaluate innovative technologies that accelerate GSA’s sustainability goals, reduce operational costs and lead market transformation.
Established in 2010
9,184 Owned and Leased Assets
375 million RSF across the US
1.1 million Federal employees
400Federal agencies, bureaus & commissions

Recent Deployment: Wireless Network Sensors
Cost effectively monitor multiple points throughout a data center
Dense network of wireless sensors provides real-time information enabling facility operator to better manage HVAC.
48%Reduction in facility cooling load
3.4Years simple payback
On GSA Schedule
Recent Deployment: Advanced Power Strips
Improve control over workplace plug loads
Schedule-based control, where users determine the day and time when a circuit is energized, found to be most effective.
26%Energy reduction at workstations (advanced computer management already in place)
Nearly 50%Energy reduction in kitchens and printer rooms
On GSA Schedule

Goals
GPG technology evaluations inform investment decisions within GSA, other federal agencies, and the real estate industry.
Unit costs of technologies are reduced by leveraging GSA’s portfolio, market share, and federal buying power.
Increased environmental and financial performance of public and private buildings.
