A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:
The University of California (UC) Green Building Design Policy for new construction requires campuses to meet a “minimum standard equivalent to a LEED™ NC Silver rating.” LEED™ NC stands for US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) for New Construction (NC). UC’s policy also directs campuses to “…strive to achieve a standard equivalent to a LEED™ NC Gold rating or higher, whenever possible…”

A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
To ensure compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies, the University of California, Santa Barbara has adopted its own campus-wide policy. In 2002, UCSB adopted a campus policy stating that all new buildings commissioned after July 1, 2004, must meet a minimum of USGBC's LEED Silver certification. In 2010, the Chancellor's Sustainability Committee established a new policy that all buildings commissioned after July 1, 2010, must meet a minimum of LEED Gold.
