The State Energy Efficient Design (SEED) program, established in 1991, requires state
agencies to build new or renovate existing buildings using energy efficient design
methods.
The State of Oregon is committed to designing, renovating, and operating its buildings to
save energy and serve as models of energy efficiency.
Energy conservation measures in public buildings can include high-efficiency windows,
building envelope improvements, efficient heating and cooling systems, LED lighting, and
more.

SEED program guidelines
for more information.
In addition to the SEED Program Guidelines, state agencies are also directed to follow EO
17-20 3(B): Carbon-Neutral Operations for New State Buildings. DAS, DEQ, and ODOE have
compiled
a memo
to help agencies understand and apply this requirement.
State agencies must also comply with
1.5% for Green Energy Technology program
requirements.
