Reduction in Real Property Usage
NASA’s goal for cost savings by the end of the fiscal year 2012 is $100 million. The chart “Progress Towards the Goal” shows the achievement to date towards the target.

These initiatives are ongoing and NASA maintains a proactive approach to achieving the goals of the Presidential Memorandum dated June 10, 2010. The following cost reductions are included in the graph to the right:
- NASA continues to reduce operating cost of facilities by designing and constructing LEED certified facilities. To date NASA has 3 Platinum, 7 Gold, 7 Silver and 3 LEED Certified buildings.
- NASA continues to utilize its EUL authority to out-grant underutilized property, saving operations and maintenance costs and bringing in revenue that can be used to maintain and repair existing real property assets. Estimated EUL revenue over FY 10 through FY 12: $13.5 million
