The White House, which recently celebrated its 200th birthday, has had a long tradition of demonstrating technological innovation. In keeping with that tradition, the Clinton Administration has initiated a comprehensive analysis, design, and implementation program to improve the energy and environmental performance of the White House and Old Executive Office Building. The effort, led by an inter-governmental-agency team, consists of six components -- audit, feasibility study, early actions, demonstration spaces, long term initiatives, and technology transfer/outreach. Some of these components have been completed and others are being implemented to improve energy and water efficiency, make appropriate use of renewable energy sources, reduce waste streams, improve indoor air quality, and improve building comfort and performance. All of the measures are to be implemented without disrupting the facility`s operations and in a way that respects the historic and security concerns of America`s most famous house. This paper provides a general outline of the Greening the White House project.
