Harvard University Green Building Standards

In 2009, Harvard's Greenhouse Gas Executive Committee and the Administrative Deans Council approved
Harvard's Green Building Standards, expanding upon the 2007 Green Building Guidelines, which apply to
all capital projects at the University.

Green Building Standards

To support the implementation of these standards, the Office for Sustainability offers this Green Building
Resource, a set of training modules (life cycle costing, LEED, cost-effective green building etc.), a range of
green building services, the Green Campus Loan Fund, and an advisory service to provide immediate
assistance in understanding how the guidelines apply to each project and what resources are available.

History
The Harvard Green Building Standards grew out of the Green Building Guidelines developed in 2007
through a partnership between the University Construction Managers Council and the Harvard Green
Campus Initiative (now Office for Sustainability), who convened an interfaculty committee to draft a set of
green building guidelines for the university. These Guidelines were approved by a group of 100 university
project managers, the Capital Projects Review Committee, the University Construction Management
Council, the Financial Deans and the Administrative Deans.
