Green Buildings - Completed and Planned, Cumulative to 2008
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards were developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). They are the internationally recognized benchmark for high-performance "green" buildings.
UC projects are third-party certified by the USGBC or are reviewed through an equivalent internal UC certification process.
Per the UC Policy on Sustainable Practices, the University has committed to constructing and renovating all buildings to a LEED-certified level, or equivalent. New UC construction and renovation projects set LEED (or equivalent) targets at the time of budget approval.
