The agency is installing solar panels and advanced lighting systems, and adopting geothermal technology for distributed electrical generation. The federal government operates nearly 500,000 buildings and 600,000 vehicles, employs more than 1.8 million people, and purchases more than $500 billion per year in goods and services.
