Almost a decade after the 2018 study, and amidst a number of changes in GSA building operational practices, federal priorities, and significant fluctuations to building utilization and occupancy driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and return to in-office work, GSA’s high-performance buildings continue to perform better than their legacy stock counterparts. In fact, upgrading the legacy stock buildings in GSA’s portfolio to achieve the same levels of efficiency as we found for GSA’s high-performance buildings would save over $80 million per year in utility costs, operating expenses, and waste disposal fees. As agencies seek to reduce the federal government’s expenses and right-size the portfolio while maximizing occupancy, investments in high-performance building systems, technologies, practices, and infrastructure will save money. This study, among others, also shows that such investments and upgrades will promote tenant satisfaction, reliable operation, workplace productivity, and responsible stewardship of GSA’s exceptional portfolio of federal office buildings, U.S. courthouses, and land ports of entry across the United States.
In deciding which upgrades will best maximize performance on each measure, GSA recommends that decision makers:
Metering, Utilities, Sustainability, Energy (MUSE) Envizi
GSA’s system for utility billing information, including energy and water consumption and the amount of solid waste generated and recycled for each GSA-owned building. GSA’s owned portfolio tracks billing and utility expenses based on the metering configuration of the building or project.
Financial Management Information System (FMIS)
GSA’s financial reporting system for building-related expenses.
Sustainable Operations and Maintenance Tool
GSA’s system for tracking buildings that meet the Guiding Principles for Existing Buildings.
Real Estate Across the United States (REXUS)
GSA’s system for identifying physical building details including the building’s name, property type, age, address, GSA Region, and gross square footage (GSF).
Tenant Satisfaction Survey (TSS)
GSA’s process for capturing annual Federal Tenant Satisfaction Survey results by building and by tenant.

Traveler reimbursement is based on the location of the work activities and not the accommodations, unless lodging is not available at the work activity, then the agency may authorize the rate where lodging is obtained.
Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within those boundaries."
Per diem localities with county definitions shall include"all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately)."
When a military installation or Government - related facility(whether or not specifically named) is located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the entire installation or facility is the higher of the rates which apply to the cities and / or counties, even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.
