ADEQ has implemented
an Env. Management System based on an ISO 14001 system. It took several years to get it going
because ADEQ’s headquarters moved to a new green building. That slowed us down. We just conducted our first internal audit
this year. The results were
encouraging and we know we will have even better results in the future. The EMS is generating:
|
|
Energy reductions
(electricity/natural gas) The green building is helping tremendously
there. Mechanical/technical/energy
supply problems at first.
|
|
Water reductions
(waterless urinals and dual flush toilets)
|
|
Solid waste
reductions. 36% (comprehensive
recycling program with a Recycling Committee made up of representatives from
each division)
|
|
Fleet fuel
consumption (.4% increase; needs work)
|
|
Using green cleaners
(Green Cleaning Policy and contract)
|
|
Decreased use of
office paper; 15.6% decrease for copy paper and 21.7% overall decrease
|
|
*Commute solutions
(new administration is receptive and has appointed a flextime task force)
|
|
All of these
reductions can be reported as P2 data.
