The date the guidelines or policies were formally adopted:
May 20, 2014

A brief description of the sustainable building operations and maintenance program and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:

The California State University System formally adopted a Sustainability Policy addressing multiple facets of sustainability on campus including energy consumption, building level energy metering, usage of environmentally preferable materials, and water consumption. However, there are not currently provisions for site impact, indoor environmental quality, or building-level water metering.


A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with sustainable building operation and maintenance guidelines and policies:

The Board of Trustees has been a proponent of energy conservation and other sustainability measures and has had established policies since 1978. This proposed revised policy is broader than prior policies and more inclusive of all areas of the university community. This policy aims not only to reduce the university's impact on the environment and educate our students, faculty, and staff on sustainable practices, but also to incorporate sustainability principles and climate science in our educational offerings.

Categories addressed include energy independence and procurement, energy conservation, climate action, water conservation, waste management, procurement, sustainable food service, sustainable building practices, and physical plant management.
