The Green Building Resource

The Harvard Office for Sustainability (formerly Harvard Green Campus Initiative) has developed this Green Building Resource to support the implementation of Harvard’s Green Building Guidelines and Harvard’s Sustainability Principles.

The Resource documents the experience and knowledge gained from 21 certified LEED projects and another 44 pending certification at Harvard. Using LEED as the accountability tool, the Resource has been designed to foster continuous improvement in cost-effective green building design. The site will be continuously updated and expanded to reflect the frontier of best practice across the university.

It is our hope that by creating and sharing this Resource, we can both support and learn from others as we all strive to meet the profound challenge of becoming an environmentally sustainable society.
