Additional resources which are publicly available include our University-specific Life Cycle Cost Calculator, the Green Revolving Fund application, and LEED case studies. To support successful implementation of the Standards, Harvard has developed a set of tools for its project managers that can all be access through a Harvard pin-protected webpage. Multiple iterations of energy models and life cycle cost analyses to ensure energy conservation measures are properly vetted.Īggressive energy, water, and material transparency The Standards have been updated with details regarding the preferred timing of these charrettes to ensure the project’s sustainability goals are established and met. Tier 1 projects are still required to hold three sustainability charrettes. The Tier 2 charrette framework has been streamlined to only require one goal setting charrette. Integrated design goal-setting charrettes with all key stakeholders In addition to these updated requirements and recommendations, the Standards require:
These changes map to the University-wide Sustainability Plan’s focus on enhancing well-being, and reflect the very latest in science and research being conducted by Harvard faculty.
#City of irvine green building standard notes 2016 update
The October 2017 version of the Standards streamline the documentation requirements for Tier 2 projects, increase the threshold of Tier 2A projects from $5 to $10 million, and include healthier material requirements that address chemicals of concern in furniture, carpet, non-blackout shades, and wall base.įor building materials, the update allows our community to move beyond LEED and transparency guidelines to upgraded requirements that will position Harvard as a leader in designing and building our spaces to optimize for health. The Harvard Sustainable (Green) Building Standards were last updated in October 2017, building upon the 2007 Green Building Guidelines, 2009 Green Building Standards, and 2014 Green Building Standards. Additionally, some University-wide requirements are referenced in the Standards, which apply to both capital and non-capital projects. The Standards apply to all capital projects (new construction and major renovations) over $100,000 and should be included in all Request for Proposals. Our Sustainable (Green) Building Standards include process-oriented requirements to ensure that all sustainable design and operations opportunities are vetted and that performance requirements are achieved in a cost-effective manner. Our Sustainable (Green) Building Standards ensure our commitment to climate and health is reflected in the design and creation of our spaces.
