A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
The Design Criteria/Facilities Standards (DCFS) are University standards and design guidelines for new construction and building renovations on the College Park campus. The DCFS set the requirements used by the design team to meet the programmatic needs of each project and cover topics including operations and maintenance, safety, energy efficiency, and material finishes. To insure the University’s projects are designed in compliance with the University’s green building commitment and the High Performance Buildings Act, the DCFS was revised to address environmental stewardship and LEED design criteria.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
13,520 gross square feet of newly constructed building space was also certified under Green Globes. However, since this space is both LEED certified and Green Globes certified we only reported it as LEED certified for this credit. The credit will not allow us to report this space as certified under two different rating systems.
