A list of new construction and major renovation projects that indicates the green building code, policy/guideline, or rating system that applies to each building:
For the past 3 years, new construction projects have been LEED Gold or higher:
Hoover Dining Hall
Prindle Institute for Ethics
The Bottoms Alumni & Development Center and the Center for Diversity and Inclusion are not LEED certified, which account for the 25% of non-certified GBC buildings on campus.
The new Ullem Center for Sustainability, which went beyond traditional green building codes, was built with the following sustainability features in mind:
-Radiant heating uses the building's solar panels to collect energy from ultraviolet light to heat coils of water under the floor
-With no traditional air conditioning unit, a large ceiling fan and exhaust fan circulate air and keep the building cool while using less energy.
-LED lighting is activated through occupancy sensors and is more energy efficient and longer lasting than other commercial lighting.
-Low-flow sinks and toilets conserve water.
-Landscaping features edible and pollinator-friendly perennial fruit bushes, flowers and herbs.
-On-site composting supports healthy soils on the farm while keeping biodegradable materials out of landfills and reducing associated emissions.

As of January 2019, all new DePauw construction and renovation projects will follow International Green Building Code ASHRAE 189.1.
