Individual Green Office Certification
The new green office certification program for individuals offers university faculty and staff the opportunity to gain recognition for sustainable practices already in place as well as learning how to become even more sustainable. The program is entirely voluntary. Like many certification programs, the scoring is tiered and based on level of difficulty to achieve certain tasks in categories including energy conservation, waste reduction, recycling, communications and occupant health and comfort. Each applicant has the ability to communicate with the Sustainability Initiatives Office staff throughout their application and certification process. View the webpage to find out more.
