The "Greening" of University Campuses
Green Campus is an initiative that conducts environment of the campus, creates environmental purchasing policies, reduces campus waste, maximizes energy efficiency, implements sustainable land use, transportation and building, as well as creates a student environment center and support those students interested in environmental responsible careers.
(Heinz Family Foundation 1995)

o Use multi-criteria analysis in order to identify indicators and create an assessment model to serve as a supportive decision tool for sustainable universities.
o Evaluate how much a university campus is close or far to be considered a Green Campus.
Multi-Criteria Tree for Green Campus
o In this research, the authors selected scientific journals and documents in the area of sustainable universities and conducted a literature review and a subsequent choice of indicators to reach a comparative table.
o The basic criterion to include an indicator was its citation in at least three articles published by different authors and from two distinguished scientific journals.

o Each of these key factors was divided into secondary factors, according to the review of scientific literature.
o After establishing the factors that determine a GC, their relative values were established.
o These values were determined querying sustainability experts from several countries, including the United Kingdom, India, Italy, Cabo Verde, Chile, Germany and Brazil.
Multi-Criteria Tree for Green Campus
o Seventeen experts were consulted. o The Green Campus Multi-criteria Tree importance scales
defined in a percentage for each factor.
