IMPROVING CAMPUS LIFE
Climate Action Strategies East Los Angeles College’s climate action strategies target the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions: buildings and transportation. Buildings DISTRICT-WIDE SUSTAINABLE BUILDING PROGRAM In 2002, the Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees adopted a groundbreaking commitment to sustainability — a sustainable policy mandate that requires a LEED-certified rating or better for all new construction and major renovation projects throughout its college campuses. Today, the LACCD is at the helm of a $6 billion Sustainable Building Program, which is among the nation’s largest environmentally friendly green-building programs. The Sustainable Building Program cultivates positive impacts for society: ■ Creates improved environments that are better suited to prepare and train students for twenty-first century jobs ■ Boosts the California economy ■ Models sustainable practices and decreases the District’s GHG emissions To supplement the Board’s policy, a sustainable standards and specification was launched to give designers guidelines to focus their efforts on conserving energy, integrating sustainable siting design, reducing waste and water consumption, improving indoor air quality, and using sustainable materials and resources. All buildings will be designed and constructed with environmental sensitivity in mind. 17
