“Sustainable development is development that meets the needs
of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs.”
- Brundtland Report, United Nations, 1987
INTRODUCTION
San José • Evergreen Community College District has a long term commitment to
environmental, economic, and social sustainability through the implementation of sustainable
design principles in campus planning efforts.
•• Buildings shall be designed to include the green building measures specified as mandatory
in the current CALGreen code and Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. Where
feasible and appropriate, the District will direct design consultants to pursue LEED
certification.
•• Building design should employ sustainable design practices that are successfully
expressed as integral aspects of the building design.
•• Buildings should demonstrate how passive sustainable strategies can be successfully
employed and how high performance environments may be achieved.
•• Whether in the orientation of the building, building geometry, material selection, or
architectural features such as deep roof overhangs, building design should celebrate the
use of renewable resources and of passive systems which promote occupant health and
comfort by providing access to natural daylighting and fresh air.

1
•• Planning, design
and development
methods should
include environmentally
responsible site selection,
building design, building
siting and development.
•• This will protect, restore
and enhance the
environmental quality
of the site and respect
the integrity of adjacent
campus buildings.

•• All systems on campuses
should be compatible
operate efficiently, thus
optimizing energy use and
performance.
•• Strategies such as the
“right-sizing” of building
mechanical systems
and the design of tighter
building envelopes can
help to achieve campus
wide energy efficiency.
WATER EFFICIENCY
+ CONSERVATION
3
•• Achieve water efficiency
and conservation through
efficient use of water
indoors, outdoors and in
waste water conveyance.
•• By employing a variety
of water-wise strategies,
limited water resources
may be conserved and
safeguarded.
•• Landscape management
best practices, such
as drought-tolerant
native plants, aid in
water conservation
and protection of local
watersheds.

IMPLEMENTATION
Sustainable design can be implemented at a District and College level to existing and new
facilities on a project by project basis, as well as policies to shape environmentally sensitive
habits. Garnering interest from the college community will ultimately lead to a more sustainable
environment and community.
STRATEGIES FOR IMPLEMENTATION
•• Form a steering committee from District and College leadership to develop an energy
and sustainability plan to provide campuses with a strategic direction for both the short
and long terms.
•• Establish goals in all areas of instruction, operations, construction, facilities, energy
conservation, energy production, water conservation, and environmental integrity.
Reference the California Community Colleges Board of Governors Energy and
Sustainability Policy to help establish goals.
•• Engage the community in sustainable workshops to educate and get input from
individuals who are primarily affected by the facilities.
•• Incorporate
sustainable measures in all new buildings, additions, and renovations.
