Existing Activities
We are currently engaged in many activities with the goal of creating a more sustainable way of conducting our business across Authority-operated facilities .
Design Manual Update
One of our highest priorities is updating the 2014 Design Manual so that we codify more forwardlooking requirements related to building envelope design ; mechanical , electrical , and plumbing infrastructure ; environmental requirements ; and landscaping for us and our tenants . This effort supports a broader reach in improving the Authority ’ s and our tenants ’ operations by reducing energy and water consumption , waste generation , and promoting more sustainable operations . This update will be completed in 2020 . The sustainability planning process and the Design Manual update are being carried out in a coordinated fashion so that the Manual supports the Authority ’ s broader sustainability goals . The Manual will be updated on a recurring basis to capture advances in sustainable building practices .
