How the Sustainable Design Framework Can Help Our Community

The BuildLACCD Sustainable Design Framework provides various benefits within the design/build community and beyond:

Program directors and program managers
Efficient planning, reporting, decision-making and change management contributes substantially to sustainable outcomes and reduces overall project costs.

Designers, architects and engineers
Using the BuildLACCD framework, designers can learn how to create modernized designs and build sustainable structures, offering green alternatives to customers and securing additional business opportunities in the new green economy.

Contractors and vendors
Our sustainable design guidelines help our contractors understand our specific needs. Our high standards also encourage them to develop innovative and sustainable solutions with their products, equipment and materials.

Campus leaders and students
The LACCD commitment to a green environment prepares our students for future employment opportunities in growing green industries. Our green buildings also protect student and employee health, encourage better student performance, and result in lower operating costs for facility administrators.

The LACCD community
Our efforts contribute to the worldwide effort to control Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, manage carbon emissions and support long-term sustainable best practices in order to foster carbon and waste neutral outcomes across the entire LACCD community.
