SFTool Guide
What is the Sustainable Facilities Tool?
The Sustainable Facilities Tool (SFTool) helps you conserve resources and reduce operating costs by bringing together the information you need to make sustainable design, operations and procurement choices. Use SFTool as your quick reference for day-to-day questions or dig deeper to understand more about efficiency, indoor environmental quality, conservation and the connections between them.
Sustainability is a team effort — understanding other’s goals and perspectives can help you work toward sustainable operation!
