FACILITY PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS state:
"The UGA requires and has been implementing efficient and sustainable designs for new construction and renovations for many years. Regardless of whether a project will utilize a third party green building certification system, the Design Professional shall present multiple scenarios with various levels of energy and water conservation options for the Project Manager’s review... Based on experience, capital improvement projects that meet the intent and requirements of UGA Design & Construction Standards generally achieve Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Gold level certification or equivalent, Silver or equivalent at a minimum. The design and construction of a new building shall be for at least a fifty year life with emphasis on minimum life cycle costs rather than low first costs..."
Recently constructed buildings have incorporated the following sustainable design strategies: 100‐year durability construction methods; redevelopment of an existing site or parking lot; increasingly efficient passive solar, daylighting and lighting design; efficient mechanical system design with energy recovery; efficient water use and rainwater or condensate harvesting; and use of local construction materials, low volatile organic compound (VOC) interior finishes, interior recycling stations, and green cleaning methods.
