The green building guidelines or policies:
It is the policy of Washtenaw Community College to design, construct, renovate, and maintain its facilities in a sustainable fashion. All new facilities over 5,000 gross square feet and major capital renovations costing more than 50% of building replacement value shall seek to acquire a LEED Silver rating at a minimum. In addition to achieving a minimum of a LEED Silver rating new construction projects (and renovation projects, where applicable) shall be designed and built to minimize energy use by earning at least 40% of the available points for energy performance under the LEED Credit for Optimization Energy Performance where technically feasible and where payback is reasonable. The College will seek to achieve LEED EB (existing building) certification for all existing buildings.
