Projects
City capital improvement projects fall under the City's Green Buildings and Sites Policy. The initial policy, adopted in February of 2000 called for projects over 5,000 square feet to meet a minimum LEED Silver certification. The policy was updated in November of 2011, with projects 5,000 square feet or greater now expected to achieve a LEED Gold certification.
Since implementation of the City’s first Sustainable Building Policy in 2000, 30 buildings have been completed with 28 of those receiving LEED certification. 19 projects received a LEED Gold rating, 7 achieved LEED Silver and 2 are LEED Certified. Click here to see a full list of these projects.
