The Board of Supervisors has enacted several policies and initiatives designed to advance environmentally sound and energy efficient activities within county operations and the broader community.

The Fairfax County Community-wide Energy and Climate Action Plan (CECAP) will include a greenhouse gas inventory, as well as goals, strategies and actions to help mitigate climate change and to reduce the impact of climate-related events on county residents and businesses.

The Energy Action Fairfax program is dedicated to providing county residents with information, resources and assistance to encourage energy-saving activities and behavior at home.

The Fairfax County energy dashboard enables anyone to view monthly county government utility bills at the facility level. Additionally, data summaries dating back to 2006 are available for specific service areas, building categories and featured buildings.

Renewable, non-polluting energy sources help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support the long-term viability of our energy economy. Fairfax County is nationally-recognized as a great place to use solar. Alternatively, explore purchasing renewable energy for your home or business.

No matter the size of your business, you can take steps to reduce your energy and water use, as well as your waste. Small changes can add up to big savings and the Fairfax County Green Business Partners program is here to help.

The Fairfax Employees for Environmental Excellence (FEEE) strive to foster a greener workplace culture through education, outreach and engagement. Start your own green team with inspiration from FEEE.
