A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:

Maricopa County Community College District Design Guidelines reference Energy Conservation Design Criteria in section 3.3. The MCCCD Construction Project Contract references Energy Conservation, Sustainability and Environmental Responsiveness in section 1.0.7 and states the following:

Per District Design Guidelines, all new construction shall use principles of energy efficiency and sustainability to the fullest extent possible, consistent with budget constraints and programmatic requirements. While not seeking LEED or other national certifications at this time, the District seeks to evaluate these programs, develop a
reasonable response and self-certify to LEED, Labs21 or other appropriate criteria. All designs shall incorporate the energy conservation standards required by A.R.S. Section
34-451 shall comply with all requirements of ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1 (most current edition) Energy Standards, including all issued amendments and updates. A written summary of
compliance with the ASHRAE Standard effective shall be deemed a BASIC SERVICE. If a detailed study is required, the cost for the study will be considered a reimbursable
expense.
