The General Services Administration (GSA) is an independent agency of the United States government, established in 1949 to help manage and support the basic functioning of federal agencies. GSA supplies products and communications for U.S. government offices, provides transportation and office space to federal employees, and develops government-wide cost-minimizing policies, among other management tasks.

GSA’s popular and free-to-use online tool helps identify and prioritize cost-effective strategies for high-performance buildings and workplaces.

Its purpose is to simplify, for both government and private-sector property managers, high-perfomrance building practices and compare options for renovation projects. SFTool offers an easy to use learning platform highlighting best practices, case studies, and relevant regulations with an additional capability to compare building materials and systems across an array of high-performance criteria within an interactive virtual office environment.
