GSA Sustainable Facilities Tool, Version 2.0 Released

Noblis is pleased to report that its client, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), has released the second version of its popular GSA Sustainable Facilities Tool (SFTool). Noblis has been the prime contractor conducting development of the SFTool since its inception.

Initially launched in 2011, SFTool.gov has expanded into an immersive online environment that encourages exploration of sustainable building principles, materials, and systems to aid decision making. SF Mobile, available on IOS, Android, and Blackberry platforms, provides mobile access to hundreds of SFTool users. The Green Products Compilation (GPC), led by GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service (FAS), provides green procurement support and drives over 5,000 unique users to SFTool.gov every month. In June, visits to SFTool.gov originated from 61 countries and SF Mobile recorded its 1400^th download.

SFTool Version 2.0 expands upon the documented success of the SFTool technology platform to present new content including whole building systems, integrative design, and life cycle approaches. Enhanced search, an updated interface, and new interactive user guides make it even easier for agencies to adopt SFTool as a project and training resource.

“Noblis congratulates GSA’s OGP Office of Federal High-Performance Green Buildings team and the FAS GPC team for having the foresight to create such an innovative tool to help the public and private sectors achieve their sustainability goals,” said Mile Corrigan, Senior Manager, Noblis. “We are honored to be working with this distinguished team.”
