A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:
Excerpt from Babson's Climate Action Plan:
Babson’s current policy is for all new construction and major renovations to be LEED Silver compliant or better. Attaining LEED Silver compliance requires energy performance at least 10 percent better than current building codes. The green building policy already has demonstrated significant results: 81 Map Hill, a residence hall that came online in FY 2007 and was built to LEED standards, consumes about 40 percent less energy than Van Winkle Hall, another residence hall of comparable size.
This Climate Action Plan calls for phasing in more stringent green building policies. By 2015, Babson will require that all new construction and major renovation work achieve LEED Gold certification with energy performance of at least 20 percent below code. By 2020, the policy will require that all new construction and major renovation work achieve LEED Platinum certification with energy performance of at least 36 percent below code. We are estimating that by 2050 approximately 700,000 square feet or almost one half of the built environment on the campus will have been constructed under these green building policies.
