A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
Drexel University is the first university in the country to commit to using Green Globes®, the Green Building Initiative's™ (GBI) independent environmental impact monitoring system, comprehensively through university policy, for all new construction and existing campus buildings. Green Globes is a web-enabled green building management tool that includes an assessment protocol, rating system and a framework of guidance for integrating environmentally friendly design and operation into buildings. A third-party independent assessment process is completed one year after occupancy, and results in a ranking based on Green Globes metrics.
Guidelines for Sustainable Building Designs and polices have been designed to express University Facilities' commitment to sustainable development: strengthening the message that it is essential to seek economic prosperity, environmental protection, and social equity together.
