Please note that assured reports are still subject to review by AASHE staff prior to publication, which may require additional revisions. AASHE reserves the right to withhold points for this credit if it is determined that the assurance process was clearly unsuccessful in identifying and resolving inconsistencies or errors (e.g., when AASHE staff identify a significant number of issues that were either not mentioned in the completed review template or not resolved successfully).

A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:

Prior to performing the External Assurance Audit, the CAPU STARS team performed it's own internal review of the report utilizing the '2.2 Review Template'. This was completed for due dilligence and to ensure conformance to the STARS requirements. As it was completed by the CAPU team directly responsible for the STARS submission, it has not been included as an Internal Assurance Audit. 


The External audit was then completed as follows utilizing the 2.2 Review Template:



  • CAPU shared DRAFT submission with Origin Sustainable Design and Planning (OSDP)

  • OSDP performed 1st review, categorizing credits and suggestions as applicable.

  • Workshop held to review comments with CAPU

  • CAPU internal coordination of responses and 'Institution Response: 1st Review update'

  • OSDP performed 2nd Review to confirm all initial suggestions had been addressed. Document was updated and reissued to CAPU with statement of affirmation.
