A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:
Use the US Green Building Council’s LEED rating system OR the Green Building Initiative’s Green Globes rating system as a tool in applying sustainable design principles, and as a measure of the sustainability achieved through the planning, design, and construction process. A LEED for New Construction and Major Renovations rating of SILVER (33-38 of 69 possible points) or the Green Globes equivalent rating of TWO GLOBES (55-69% of 1000 total points) is the standard to which University projects will be held. [NOTE: At this time, the University is not requiring formal certification of most its projects, though some projects may . However, the design and construction team will be required to submit a checklist and narrative to substantiate the measures taken to achieve the equivalent of the certification levels desired.]
None
A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
Provide a life-cycle economic analysis of the sustainable strategies and features of the building, as well as an energy cost model that addresses all building system costs, such as building envelope, HVAC, and electrical systems. This analysis must be prepared by the designers of each project and submitted to the University for review.
