A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
In September of 2004 UMass Amherst adopted Construction Design Guidelines that included a policy on Responsible Use of Energy and Natural Resources and specifically directed project teams to follow the LEED Rating System for new construction. As a user agency of the Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management (DCAM), UMass is required to meet all facility design and management policies guidelines adopted by the state. Under Executive Order 484 – Leading By Example: Clean Energy and Efficient Buildings, signed by Governor Patrick On April 18, 2007, all new construction and major renovation over 20,000 square feet must meet MassLEED Plus requirements, achieve 20% above the Mass Energy Code, or meet the Advanced Buildings energy criteria. In addition, UMass Amherst has made a commitment to achieve LEED-Silver or better, and has developed Green Building Guidelines that facilitate and streamline the LEED process and challenge the University with creative, resourceful and innovative strategies for sustainable buildings. UMass Amherst is also in the process of developing Building Operations & Maintenance Guidelines.
