A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contribute to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:
Duke has made significant commitments to green design and construction, including a commitment that all new construction and major renovations will achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) Certification standards, with a goal of LEED™ Silver. Duke currently has 27 LEED™ certified buildings and 8 buildings registered with LEED™ for future certification. 29% of Duke University’s total square footage is registered or certified LEED™.
As part of the LEED certification process contractors are required to develop a construction waste management plan to recycle and/or salvage C&D waste. This is happening as part of the LEED process at Duke but the reporting structure has not been set up to capture the tonnage details from all projects across campus.
