Bickelman Lieutenant Governor State Purchasing Agent October 25, 2006 Dear EPP Vendor Fair Attendees: On behalf of the Operational Services Division and our event partners, the Executive Office if Environmental Affairs and Department of Environmental Protection, I am pleased to welcome you to the 12th Annual Environmentally Preferable Products (EPPs) Vendor Fair and Conference. This year’s event holds particular significance as we look back across twelve years of environmental purchasing and recognize the vast improvements in product quality and the range of choices now available to us. EPPs offer sustainable solutions for facility managers, office staff, fleet administrators, grounds keepers and other public purchasers. In addition, choosing Environmentally Preferable Products afford opportunities for state and local governments to operate smarter, more efficiently and save money. Enjoy the time you spend today with the businesses exhibiting at the show and I encourage you to benefit from the useful information presented at the various informative workshop sessions. Your interest to purchase products that work toward addressing global environmental issues and improving public health conditions is to be congratulated. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts thanks you for your support of fiscally responsible sustainable practices and the generations of tomorrow thank you for your commitment to conserve resources and foster a healthier state in which to live. Best wishes for a successful conference.

The bulletins are available on the ANF website: http://www.mass.gov/eoaf/bulletins.html ANF Bulletin #11 Energy ANF Bulletin #13 Biofuels ANF Bulletin #12 Green Buildings ANF Bulletin #11: Sets the Goal of a 15% reduction in Building Energy by 2010. A multi-agency task force will work with agencies to reach a reduction in ‘non- renewable’ building energy consumption by 15% by 2010. The goal can be met through increased energy efficiency, operational changes, and use of on-site renewable energy and other alternative fuels. ANF Bulletin #12: Establishes Minimum Green Building Standards for new State Buildings and Major Retrofits of “Massachusetts LEED Plus”. This new standard requires new and renovated state buildings to qualify for basic LEED certification, and also meet certain Energy, Water, and Smart Growth criteria. Third party commissioning will be used to ensure standards are fully implemented. ANF Bulletin #13: Sets Minimum Biofuel requirements for State Fleets and #2 Oil. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2008, state diesel fleets will be required to move to a B5 or higher blend of Biodiesel, and subject to pilot testing this winter to a B3 or higher Bioheat blend of #2 heating oil. There may also be minimum E85 ethanol standards. 1 ���������������������������� ������������������������������������������������ �������� ���� ������������ ���������� �������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������ ���������� ����������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������� ���������������������������������� ��������������������������������������������������� �������������������������������������������������� ���������������������������������������������������������� ������������� ��������������������� ������������������������������������������������������ ������������������������������������������������������������� ������������������� ��������������������������������������� ���������������������������������������������������������� ����������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������ ��������������������������������������������������������� ����������������� ����������������� ������������������������������������������������������������ �������������������������������������������������� ����������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������ ���������������������� �������������������������������������������������������������� ���������������������������������������������������������� ���������������������������������������������������� ����������������������������������������� �������������� ����������������� �������������� ���������������������������������� ������������������������������������� �������������������������������� ����������������������������������������� ������������������������������������� ����������������� ������������ ���������������������� �������������������������������������������� ��������������������������������������� 2 Conference Schedule 7:45 – 11:00 Registration (Level 1) 8:00 – 3:45 Exhibitor Showroom Open (Level 1) 9:00 – 10:30 Workshop Sessions (Level 3, Workshop Rooms) � 9:00-10:15 Green Cleaning at Federal Facilities (Room A) � 9:00-10:15 The March on Mercury (Room C) � 9:00-10:30 Saving Money Through Energy Conservation (Room D) � 9:00-10:30 Fueling the Future: Diesel Cleans Up (Room E) 10:15 – 11:00 Coffee / Refreshments in the Exhibit Hall 10:30 – 2:30 MAFMA Morning Meeting and Lunch (Jr. Ballroom) 11:00 – 12:15 Workshop Sessions (Level 3, Workshop Rooms) � Buying Responsibly: National Green Purchasing Initiatives (Room A) � Composting Institutional Food Waste (Room B) � Energy Tracking GhG Inventory Development (Room D) 12:15 – 1:30 Lunch - Speaker - Awards (Level 3, Ballroom) 1:30 – 2:00 Dessert Reception in the Exhibit Hall 2:00 – 3:15 Workshop Sessions (Level 3, Workshop Rooms) � 1:30-2:45 OSD/NEOS (Room A) � 1:30-2:45 Green Building Standards (Room C) � 2:00-3:15 Signing onto Single Stream Recycling?
