As California—and the nation—races toward ambitious climate goals, public agencies are under increasing pressure to lead by example. Schools, cities, counties, and state agencies are being asked to do more with less while reducing their environmental impact. At Green Technology, a nonprofit organization with 20 years of experience in the sustainability space, we’re proud to launch a major campaign focused on what matters most: sustainable public sector solutions that drive measurable results.
After extensive collaboration with our stakeholders across California’s public sector, we’ve identified 30 essential product and service categories that are critical to helping agencies meet their climate action and sustainability goals. These categories represent real needs in energy conservation, water and waste management, indoor environmental health, transportation, and much more. Our goal? To connect innovative solution providers with the institutions that need them most—and deliver the sustainable public sector solutions they’re actively searching for.
A Focus on What Matters Most
These 30 categories aren’t just a list—they’re a reflection of current priorities in sustainability, infrastructure, and education. We’ve grouped them into five focus areas to reflect how agencies are thinking about their sustainability journeys:
1. Indoor & Environmental Health
Public buildings, especially schools, must ensure healthy environments. Solutions in this category include:
- Air quality technologies
- Daylighting systems for improved natural light and energy savings
2. Waste & Water Management
From storm water to composting, effective waste and water management is foundational to sustainability:
- Composting and recycling systems
- Irrigation solutions
- Storm water management strategies
3. Energy & Building Efficiency
Energy is a top concern for every agency. We’re spotlighting leaders in:
- Solar energy and solar hot water systems
- Fuel cell and microgrid technology
- Building automation, HVAC, lighting controls
- PoE (Power over Ethernet) and other smart energy innovations
- Facilities maintenance and energy service providers
4. Site & Structural Infrastructure
As capital projects ramp up across California, we need materials and systems that are both high-performance and sustainable:
- Recycled rubber and sustainable paving products
- Roofing solutions
- Modular building systems
- High-efficiency windows, doors, coatings, and paint
5. Interior & Learning Environments
Healthy and inspiring indoor spaces support student success and workforce productivity:
- Playgrounds built from sustainable materials
- Classroom furniture and equipment designed for flexibility and longevity
6. Transportation & Mobility
The EV revolution is here, and the public sector is driving the transition:
- Electric vehicles and EV charging infrastructure
7. Professional & Digital Services
Digital transformation is integral to sustainability, from planning to procurement:
