Tangible Actions

1. Establish a policy that all new campus construction will be built to at least the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Silver standard or equivalent.

Yes: LEED for New Construction Policy
All new construction and major renovation projects of 5,000 gross square feet or greater commencing design after January 1, 2010 shall be designed, constructed, and certified at the silver level in accordance with the current version of the LEED for New Construction Green Building Rating System, as published by the US Green Building Council.

LEED for New Construction Procedures
I. Project Development
1. During the preplanning study, determine which LEED criteria are appropriate to address during the design and construction of the project and capture that information on a preliminary LEED scorecard. Identify any issues that need resolution prior to the procurement of professional services.

II. Procurement of Professional Services
1. In all solicitations for Architect/Engineer (A/E) services, the LEED Silver certification objective will be clearly stated.
2. Selection criteria for A/E services will include demonstrated experience with high performance building design and the successful completion of the LEED certification process.

III. Design Reviews and Approvals
1. At each phase review, an updated LEED Scorecard will be submitted to Facilities Management by the A/E firm.

IV. Construction Bids
1. Construction specifications will include, within the General Conditions, a LEED requirements section that clearly defines the General Contractor’s responsibilities, as related to LEED documentation.
2. Construction specifications will include, within applicable technical sections, LEED related requirements and submittals.
3. Provisions for retaining payment to General Contractor shall be indicated in the project specifications to ensure proper construction documentation and completion of the LEED certification process.

V. Project Monitoring
1. Appropriate Facilities Management personnel will be granted access to LEED Online, to allow for participation in and monitoring of the LEED certification process.
2. All construction progress meetings shall include updates and discussion on LEED documentation.

2. Adopt an energy-efficient appliance purchasing policy requiring purchase of ENERGY STAR certified products in all areas for which such ratings exist.

Yes: Equipment Purchasing Procedure
Equipment Purchasing Procedure Equipment is defined as nonexpendable items placed on the inventory of the College. Generally, equipment is not consumed, exhausted, or changed in shape with use and will normally last more than two (2) years. Equipment is categorized as major or minor, depending on cost.
Equipment requests should originate at the department level. Each piece of equipment must be requested on a separate Expenditure Authorization Request. Complete description, justification, and vendor information are required along with cost and other data. The Business Services Office in Holding Hall has vendor catalogs available for reference. A list of all current state contracts is available on the Internet and should be referred to in preparing equipment requests. Information on computer equipment should be obtained from Information Technology Services where applicable.
All employees with purchasing responsibility or who are involved in procurement decisions for energy-consuming products are expected to seek out an Energy Star® labeled model of the product under consideration. A list of qualifying items can be found on the Energy Star website (www.energystar.gov)
This procedure is not intended to circumvent the use of state contracts. When purchasing equipment using state contracts, the college will make a reasonable attempt to identify and purchase Energy Star equipment while continuing to abide by state procurement policy.
For purchases of over $5,000, please contact the Business Manager prior to submitting a request (Expenditure Authorization Request) to avoid delays in processing due to insufficient information.

Equipment Purchases
Equipment purchases are subject to all College and state procurement guidelines.
All employees with purchasing responsibility or who are involved in procurement decisions for energy-consuming products are expected to seek out an Energy Star® labeled model of the product under consideration. A list of qualifying items can be found on the Energy Star website (www.energystar.gov)
This procedure is not intended to circumvent the use of state contracts. When purchasing equipment using state contracts, the college will make a reasonable attempt to identify and purchase Energy Star equipment while continuing to abide by state procurement policy.
When purchasing equipment the end user must coordinate the request with facility services to ensure the proper utilities are in place for the equipment. This may include gas, electricity, water, etc.
Facilities Services will determine if such service now exists or if it is to be installed, the lead time required, and any other procedures that need to be followed. The department making the procurement request should ask that a cost estimate be added to the request to reflect the additional service costs.

3. Establish a policy of offsetting all greenhouse gas emissions generated by air travel paid for by our institution.
