Optional Fields
The University of Illinois 2009 Annual Report states that “All future new construction, remodeling and renovation projects of $5 million or greater will be LEED Silver certified. Projects under $5 million are expected to comply with LEED silver as much as possible.” Goals for the LEED certification process include diverting construction, demolition, and packaging debris from landfill disposal.
The ways to achieve points in this category include recycling of construction waste and reusing materials in renovation or new construction projects.
The University requires that at least 50% of non-hazardous construction waste and demolition debris is recycled and where possible it is desirable for up to 75% to be recycled. Documentation to substantiate this must be provided during the waste removal process.
