Buildings
B-1 - LEED Silver certification for large projects
All projects with a total cost greater than $10,000,000 will achieve LEED Silver certification or better. LEED certification has been widely adopted in the design and construction industry for the past decade, and it offers the most comprehensive approach to delivering a high-performance building. Currently, Purdue has a number of LEED-certified facilities.
B-2 - High-performance for small projects
Develop and require prescriptive high-performance criteria for projects with a total cost of less than $10,000,000. Just as we set high expectations for all students, expectations are also high for all projects, regardless of their size. We will develop a menu of performance criteria for various project types that ensures the entire building portfolio is performing at a high level.
