A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:

D. LEED: Project is designed to comply with a Silver Certification Level according to the
U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED)
Rating System, as specified in Division 1 Section “LEED Requirements.”
1. LEED provides a framework for meeting sustainability goals and recognizes
achievements in “green building” through a system of project certification.
2. LEED strategies are generally categorized into the areas of sustainable site development,
water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental
quality.
3. Indiana State University’s goal is for this Project is to achieve the highest LEED
certification possible with a minimum of a silver certification. Toward this end,
many LEED requirements are specified in Sections 1 through 16 of the specifications.
4. In order for all parties involved with the Project to work toward the highest LEED
certification possible, the cooperation of the Contractor is sought in exercising
reasonable judgment for the attainment of maximum sustainability. That is, when
a sustainable act is as economical and as timely to perform as a non-sustainable
act, and both acts will have the same result, the Contractor’s cooperation is requested
in performing the sustainable act.
5. Some LEED requirements are the responsibility of the University or others and,
when this is the case, such requirements will be so identified.
