@Joanna – I love the idea of our new space being as green as possible. The sites you have picked out look fantastic and I hope our presence will help them go even greener (we are getting pretty aggressive at the brainquarters on green).

@Corinne – thx for sharing the link to govloop on the go green initiative from the Whitehouse. There will be definitely be some interested folks for green IT now:

The executive order 13514 signed by president Obama also touches on the energy impact of federal data centers. Federal agencies will now be required to use “greener” servers and implement best practices for data-center management.
Federal Agencies will also have to do some reporting about their IT efforts to comply with the order. That will likely force agencies to spend some money on new software and hardware for measuring purposes. ei. greenhouse gas emissions.

Very interesting information Steve, as we are evaluating office buildings and looking to move our Navstar office this year, we are making sure the new building we pick is environmentally responsible.
