Educators are accustomed to giving out grades, good and bad. However, when it comes to sustainable design and construction, it is the educators and administrators whose work is being graded. Just like the students they serve, education officials have different levels of commitment as they pursue environmentally friendly strategies in building schools and managing facilities and operations. The place many school administrators look to for grading their commitment to green design and construction is the U.S. Green Building Council. Its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program enables builders and designers to earn ratings for their construction and renovation projects based on the number of sustainable strategies included. Colleges and universities are fertile areas for green strategies to take root. Students and faculty often are environmentally conscious, and the concentration of facilities on a single campus provides numerous opportunities for energy savings. This article discusses how American schools and universities are adopting environmentally friendly and energy-efficient design and construction strategies in building schools and managing facilities.
