A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
The University of New Hampshire Planning, Design and Construction Guidelines is intended to provide general instructions to designers in the planning and preparation of construction documents, as well as general guidance to construction professionals working on projects for the University. The purpose is to ensure a minimum standard of quality, durability, consistency, maintainability, and sustainability in building and infrastructure design and construction. The University of New Hampshire has made a commitment to achieve the equivalent of “LEED” silver for new construction and major renovations, including the formal commissioning of each new project. The University Planning, Design and Construction Guidelines incorporate the University’s strategies, standards, and methodology to fulfill this commitment. It is believed that The Guidelines alone provide the equivalent to at least a LEED basic certified level. So, each new project will be expected to develop a set of sustainable design objectives specific to that project, above and beyond what is in The Guidelines.

Eight buildings on the UNH campus have been awarded the Energy Star label by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In total, the eight Energy Star buildings are preventing pollution equivalent to annual emissions from 230 vehicles - more than 135,000 gallons of gasoline - while saving UNH more than $180,000 per year in energy bills.
