Current GroveWith general placement of new building
Create a reinvigorated role for The Grove in campus life
Buildings are responsible for:
76% of total U.S. electricity consumption
>60% of total U.S. primary energy use
30% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions
136 million tons of construction & demolition waste in U.S. [approx. 2.8 lbs/person/day]
12% of potable water in U.S.
40% [3 billion tons annually] of raw material use globally
*commercial and residential
why green
What is Sustainable Design ?Design and construction practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of buildings on the environment and occupants in five broad areas:
:: Sustainable site planning :: Safeguarding water and water efficiency :: Energy efficiency and renewable energy:: Conservation of materials and resources:: Indoor environmental quality
Benefits of Green BuildingsEnvironmental Benefits:: Reduce the impacts of natural resource consumption
Economic Benefits:: Reduce Operating Costs
Health and Safety Benefits :: Enhance occupant comfort and health
Community Benefits:: Improve quality of educational experience

sustainable strategies
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) - internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most:
energy savingswater efficiency CO2 emissions reductionimproved indoor environmental qualitystewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts
Developed by the US Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.
LEED is flexible enough to apply to all building types – commercial as well as residential. It works throughout the building lifecycle – design and construction, operations and maintenance, tenant fit-out, and significant retrofit. And LEED for Neighborhood Development extends the benefits of LEED beyond the building footprint into the neighborhood it serves.
