A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:
Mount Holyoke College is committed to building, renovating and maintaining its campus buildings to maximize energy efficiency and minimize other environmental impacts of the construction, renovation and ongoing use of campus buildings. To support this goal, specific objectives include: designing all new construction to LEED silver or the equivalent with an emphasis on minimizing lifetime energy use, renovating buildings using Mount Holyoke's Environmentally Responsible Principles and Guidelines. The only building constructed since adoption, Campus Police, was designed and constructed under this policy.
None
A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
To implement this policy the campus utilizes an integrated design approach to identify green design options at the early stages of the design process, conducts energy modeling on all new construction, and commissions new construction.
