A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:

All new building and renovation projects must embrace sustainable design and building practices. Indiana University is committed to achieving LEED® Gold certification for all projects as defined by the United States Green Building Council
"Certify all major new buildings with the LEED Green Building Certification System and elevate the minimum certification level to Gold."
“The green building movement offers an unprecedented opportunity to respond to the most important challenges of our time, including global climate change, dependence on non-sustainable and expensive sources of energy and threats to human health,” said Rick Fedrizzi, president, CEO and founding chair of the U.S. Green Building Council.

At IUPUI, sustainability leadership promotes a common agenda for a green campus to apply thoughtful and creative planning to achieve a thriving campus community built on the principles of sustainability,


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

The University Director of Sustainability (architect and LEED AP) sits in on all construction meetings where LEED compliance is discussed to assist with successful certification. Many LEED credits have been built into building standards. LEED Gold Certification is required on all major new buildings and renovations (as noted in the IU Strategic Plan, page 42).
