Environmental development plans (EDPs) are prepared by the Department of Energy (DOE) to help fulfill the Department's responsibility for the development of environmentally acceptable energy technologies. The EDP provides a common basis for planning, managing, and reviewing all environmental aspects of the energy programs under DOE's jurisdiction. The EDP is timed to precede key technology program decisions as the technology moves from the exploratory development stage to an engineering development or technology demonstration phase. To ensure that environmental, health, and safety (EH and S) considerations will be addressed adequately in the technology decision making process, the EDP identifies and evaluates EH and S concerns, defines EH and S research and related assessments to examine or resolve the concerns, provides a coordinated schedule with the technology program for required EH and S research and development, and indicates the timing for environmental assessments, environmental impact statements, environmental readiness documents, and safety analysis reports. This EDP provides a substantial updating of the initial EDP for Buildings and Community Systems (BCS) published in March 1978. It contains information on the BCS technology program, environmental concerns and requirements associated with BCS, and environmental program strategy and management. Three appendixes are included on project screening procedures; federal regulations affecting BCS technologies; and a list of government-sponsored environmental research projects for architectural and engineering systems.
