All desktop computers, notebooks, and monitors purchased must meet, at a minimum, Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) environmental criteria designated as "required" (silver registration) or as higher as contained in the IEEE 1680 Standard for the Environmental Assessment of Personal Computer Products, whenever practicable.
Where applicable, energy efficient equipment shall be purchased with the most up-to-date energy efficiency functions. This includes, but is not limited to, most efficient space heating systems and high efficiency space cooling equipment.
When interior or exterior lighting is replaced, the most efficient sources economically and commercially available should be considered for use.
