A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:
All new projects are LEED certified, and minimally follow rates associated with the standards for recycling and reuse. UConn adopted its own Campus Sustainable Design Guidelines. These guidelines apply to both the construction of new buildings as well as the renovation of preexisting buildings. UConn’s Sustainable Design and Construction Policy requires a LEED silver certification as a minimum performance standard for all projects that exceed $5 million. Our 2015 construction projects yielded a 97.52% landfill diversion rate.
