A brief description of the review process:

Step 1. MacEwan University staff reviewed STARS Technical Manual to re-familiarize themselves with the credits and related updates.

Step 2. MacEwan University staff attended the University of Alberta’s two-day STARS deep-dive. Collectively with seven staff from the University of Alberta, they examined each credit, the requirements for the credit, the available data, and whether the University of Alberta would be pursuing the credit. Most credits has a considerable amount of work completed before the deep-dive was conducted which allowed the peer reviewers to review the reporting fields, timeframes and attachments at a relatively high level. There was ample opportunity to discuss areas of concern and areas where more information or clarification was required. Feedback and questions were captured by the Office of Sustainability on Excel spreadsheets. Once the feedback was gathered from the deep-dive session, the University of Alberta team reflected on the comments, gathered further information, updated credit information and completed the draft STARS submission.

Step 3. The comments and findings from MacEwan’s Office of Sustainability were summarized on one electronic spreadsheet.

Step 4. Upon completion of all credits that the University of Alberta was planning on pursuing, a final draft report was provided to the Office of Sustainability at MacEwan University. Peer reviewers reviewed to ensure accuracy, completeness, relevance as well as noting if the feedback from the deep-dive was incorporated.

Step 5. MacEwan University confirmed that the changes and suggestions were incorporated into the final draft and that the University of Alberta was submitting a valid, representative and complete STARS submission.
