Certify Your Space

certify your space logoLet your friends, neighbors, and colleagues know that you value a sustainable home and work environment. Now you have the opportunity to officially certify your room, office, or event as a “green!”

Green Room Certification

Green Room Certification provides students with the opportunity to fill out a checklist online to assess how “green” they are living. Students are recognized for taking the certification by receiving a certificate for their door from their Eco-Rep. There are three levels of certification, which are distinguished by receiving one to three “wind powered” leaves.

Green Office Certification

Green Office Certification is an opportunity for staff and faculty to assess sustainable practices within their office or department. Participants will complete a short initial survey to sign up for Green Office Certification and will be contacted by the Office of Sustainability to host a presentation on the Certification process. Green Office Certification is broken down into seven different topics, including; energy, waste, purchasing, water, travel, meetings and events, and engagement. Offices who complete the certification process will be awarded with a certificate.
