2,600 homes came from our own facilities. Gsa is also working to improve our partners understanding of their energy use as directed in the december 2013 president memorandum on federal leadership on energy management, gsa is partnering with the department of energy and epa to prepare a Green Button Initiative that will increase our partners ability to reduce energy consumption, reduce greenhouse emissions and meet sustainability goals. Taken together these efforts have led to a significant reduction in the energy use intensity. In fy 2013, gsa reduced energy usage per square foot by 20. 8 ahead of statutory targets. Since 2011 these reductions saved 192. 7 million in avoided costs. Also in fy 2013, gsa achieved an approximately 50 reduction in Greenhouse Gas emissions, exceeding our 2020 target. This amount of energy we no longer use is enough to power over 60,000 homes for one year. Gsa is also preparing for the potential impacts of Climate Change as part of the president s Climate Ac
