Sustainable Development and Society Foreword and Acknowledgements TThe Office of Governmentwide Policy is pleased to issue Sustainable Development and Society. From its inception, the Office of Governmentwide Policy has shared information throughout the Federal community on best practices concerning real property’s entire lifecycle – from development, design and construction, through operations, maintenance and eventual renewal, reuse, or disposal. The purpose of this publication is to promote a fuller understanding of sustainable development and how it helps us to make better real property investment decisions. This publication is part of GSA’s continuing commitment to help make the U.S. Government more sustainable. However, the opinions expressed in the articles are those of the authors alone and do not necessarily reflect the official position of GSA. We recognize that many of the ideas presented here are very complex and likely may involve further investigation. We hope, through this and other efforts, to further understanding and application of these important sustainability principles. This publication was produced and edited by Jonathan Herz, under the leadership of Stan Kaczmarczyk, Deputy Associate Administrator for Real Property. In addition, we would like to recognize the contributors from the private sector, the Federal Government and the academic community, without whose participation this publication would not have been possible. We appreciate everyone’s contribution in helping to create a more sustainable government for the American People and, to that end, thank the following individuals and organizations: William McDonough, FAIA William McDonough + Partners Gregory A. Norris, Ph.D. Sylvatica Tom Lent The Healthy Buildings Network Stephanie Luce University of Massachusetts at Amherst Gail D. A. Vittori Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems Karla R. Armenti COES, LLC Alison Kinn-Bennett U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Arthur B. Weissman Green Seal Jonathan Herz, AIA U.S. General Services Administration Steve Ashkin The Ashkin Group, LLC Kathy Gerwig Kaiser Permanente Blaine Robinson NISH We also would like to thank Ethics in Action for their permission to reprint “Ethics in Action,” and the GSA Public Buildings Service Fine Arts Program for the use of images of work from their outstanding collection.
