Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
WWU has four buildings that are certified under the LEED standards for New Construction. However, the floor area of these buildings has NOT been included from the "eligible building space". This is because none of them were certified within the previous five-year window according to the "eligible building space" criteria. These buildings and the dates of their LEED New Construction certifications are as follows:
