A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:
Dalhousie University plans, constructs, manages, and maintains all Dalhousie properties using principles of sustainable building. All new “major building projects” are designed, constructed and certified to strive for LEED Gold standards. Dalhousie sets standards for green building design and operations in all renovation projects of all sizes from retrofits of interior building spaces and houses to major buildings. Green building programs for existing buildings such as LEED for Existing Buildings and Operations and Maintenance are also explored.All Dalhousie buildings are covered under the policy
None
