A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
Environmental responsibility is a central focus of the Capital Projects Departments design and construction process. Since 2006 Brandeis Office of Capital Projects has adhered to a policy of creating projects at a LEED Silver (or greater) equivalent standard. Project Managers in the office are LEED accredited and contracted firms are chosen for their green building expertise. The buildings have not been third-party certified by the US Green Building Council, but the design team works to meet the standards set by LEED. Current requirements of obtaining LEED certification through third-party verification are cost prohibitive because of the inability to account for the efficiencies in using a central heating plant. Future versions of LEED may change this regulation and the University will strive to meet higher green building goals- see the Brandeis Climate Action Plan for more details.
