Green Globes is an online assessment protocol, rating system, and guidance for green building design, operation and management. It is interactive, flexible and affordable, and provides market recognition of a building's environmental attributes through third-party verification.
LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a building, home or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at achieving high performance in key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.
The following buildings were certified in the five years from 2012-16:
• Donadeo Innovation Centre for Engineering LEED Gold
• Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre 4 Green Globes
• East Campus Village Tamarack Residence 4 Green Globes
• East Campus Village Pinecrest Residence 4 Green Globes
• Physical Activity & Wellness Centre 4 Green Globes
• University Hall 3 Green globes
The following buildings were certified prior to 2012:
• Triffo Hall LEED Gold
• Chemical and Materials Engineering Renewal LEED Gold

None
A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
The Green Building Design, Operations and Maintenance guidelines are integrated into project planning by the project management teams and issues are discussed in the university's Capital & Operations meetings. The guidelines are part of the project request for proposal and are publicly accessible online (please see link in optional fields). These guidelines were developed by the Office of Sustainability, Facilities & Operations and Energy Management & Sustainable Operations.
