C+ Dept.Housing and Urban Dev. Dept.Housing and Urban Dev. 2010 Web Pages The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) does not appear to have developed a comprehensive environmental department, though it has established environmental coordinators for each region with appropriate contact information. Most environmentally related topics can be found through direct searches on the home web page, but are typically addressed as complementary issues and rarely acknowledged as the primary target of any of the Department's activities. For example, water and energy conservation initiatives are coordinated through housing development and community education which may be fine, but the presentation makes it difficult to ascertain their importance to HUD. HUD could improve its website by coordinating its environment-related topics to a single domain that is user-friendly.

B+ General Services Administration General Services Administration 2010 Web Pages The GSA expresses a commitment to improving its sustainability stance as well as aiding other actors in doing the same. The use of renewable energy and adopting LEED guidelines for its buildings illustrates the move towards a more sustainable relationship with the environment. The GSA website does not provide information on specific policies it has adopted, however, nor any quantitative performance data. It is also silent on human rights policy issues and measures taken to insure compliance. The GSA could easily improve its PSI rating simply by posting quantitative data it surely has.
