The Green Building Resource

The 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 is the result of seven years of work, and includes the experience and knowledge gained from 25 Harvard LEED projects. It has been designed to foster continuous improvement in cost-effective green building design, using LEED as the accountability tool. The Resource 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.
