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

The UI Design Standards and Procedures: http://www.facilities.uiowa.edu/pdc/designstandards/

The University of Iowa is committed to sustainability in its campus development through the incorporation of green principles in the placement, design and construction of new campus facilities and major renovation projects. Decisions made during the design period create consequences that have a profound impact on the conduct of University business, future operating budgets, and the quality of the campus environment. Because of this, the University of Iowa has developed a comprehensive facilities strategy for long-term stewardship. This approach looks at how the facility will function for the users and occupants, how the operations staff will effectively care for the facility, what resources the facility will consume over its life cycle, and how and when building systems and components will be renewed.
