A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:

The Endicott College Green Building Standards apply to all capital projects and should be included in all Requests for Proposals issued for new projects and referenced in contracts for architects, design consultants, and construction managers. These Standards have been developed to align with the College’s vision focused on creating a healthier, low carbon campus community. These requirements are also a key tool to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with campus operations. The Standards identify a minimum level of design and process requirements for all new construction and renovation projects, while providing enough flexibility for individual project teams to meet project goals. The Standards also include recommendations that project teams should attempt to achieve.


A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:

The Director of Sustainability and College's Physical Plant are active members in each phase of new construction and renovation projects as they are managed directly by the department. The College's standards are shared with each vendor/firm and Owner's Project Requirements are developed. The College also works with a commissioning agent who assists in ensuring that these guidelines and policies are followed.
