A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
For any building construction or renovation project entering the pre-design planning phase, and whenever the estimated total project cost exceeds $5 million, excluding the cost of equipment other than building systems, the University establishes the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Silver rating as a minimum performance requirement. The University complies with all applicable LEED protocols, including registering the project with the US Green Building Council at the beginning of the design phase and applying for LEED certification at project completion. Any waiver from this process is difficult and must be approved by the Board of Trustees and only upon a showing that the costs significantly outweigh the benefits.
In 2009, The State of CT adopted high performance building regulations for oversight of building construction for state agencies. UConn's LEED Silver policy complies with these regulations, with the addition of several efficiency credits.
