IV. PRIORITIES FOR STEPS TOWARD INSTITUTIONAL SUSTAINABILITY
The CAP emphasizes certain strategies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions over time. These strategies are aligned with specific scopes of greenhouse gas emissions to better leverage and focus institutional strengths and to set periodic (five-year) priorities for resource allocations. The strategies collectively focus on improvements to the designed and built environments (including water management), transportation, energy, and consumption (waste and recycling) through policy promulgation, education and awareness campaigns, and updates to the Tampa Campus Master Plan, among other action steps.
A. The designed environment includes, but is not limited to: campus design, open space network, greenway expansion, integrated landscape, forestation, xeriscape development, waterscape improvement, irrigation, and conservation.
B. The built environment includes, but is not limited to: materials reuse and building renovation, retrofitting, green building, smart masonry, materials conservation, materials recycling, recycled content materials, renewable building materials, biodegradable materials, building orientation, green roofs, rainwater harvesting, low-flow water fixtures, dual-plumbing, greywater reuse, and water metering.
C. Transportation includes, but is not limited to: pedestrian and bicycle commuting, bus system, commuter options, motor vehicle idling, mass transit, parking, campus fleet, and air travel.
D. Energy includes, but is not limited to: monitoring, commissioning, conservation, recovery, and renewable energy.
E. Consumption includes, but is not limited to: procurement, dining services, waste reduction (including paper), general recycling, electronic equipment reuse and recycling, and recycling construction debris.
Do the green building guidelines or policies cover the following?:
| Yes or No | |
| Impacts on the surrounding site (e.g. guidelines to reuse previously developed land, protect environmentally sensitive areas, and otherwise minimize site impacts) | Yes |
| Energy consumption (e.g. policies requiring a minimum level of energy efficiency for buildings and their systems) | Yes |
| Building-level energy metering | Yes |
| Use of environmentally preferable materials (e.g. guidelines to minimize the life cycle impacts associated with building materials) | Yes |
| Indoor environmental quality (i.e. guidelines to protect the health and comfort of building occupants) | Yes |
| Water consumption (e.g. requiring minimum standards of efficiency for indoor and outdoor water use) | No |
| Building-level water metering | Yes |

A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
Through the use of the Florida Energy Code, USF has implemented standards in building insulation values for walls, roofs, windows, motor and equipment efficiencies, mechanical systems insulation and controls for both HVAC and lighting. Life cycle cost analysis and FLACOM (Florida Commercial Building Energy Computational Program) are required as part of the Building Construction Document process.
Commissioning is now a requirement for all new and major renovated projects.
