 | State Fleet, the DAS Program that manages the Salem Motor Pool, implemented an Environmental Management System (EMS) in 2004.
Coordinator: Sara Clark
|
The EMS is a part of Fleet's policy to promote sustainability in all facets of the Fleet program.
Fleet has received ISO 14001 certification as a result of implementating the EMS; ISO 14001 is an internationally recognized standard used to manage and improve environmental performance. Fleet is recognized as one of the nation's only government fleets to obtain this standard.

Energy Conservation
The Department of Administrative Services (DAS) has designated its buildings as resource conservation zones. This means DAS works hard to save energy and water in its buildings, as well as ensure employees and tenants recycle to the best of their ability. The goal is to save taxpayer money and care for the environment to the greatest extent possible.
Energy Savings Report
 | DAS compares all bills to the calendar year 2000 as a baseline. The goal and OAR require a 20 percent reduction in electricity and natural gas usage by 2015. DAS does not adjust the buildings without baseline adjustments for weather or any other factors. The savings column represents the combined electric and gas savings in Btu’s compared to the year 2000 usage. The Energy Cost column includes the totals for electric and gas – not all utilities. |
