In 2000, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) developed LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), a green building certification system for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. It provides building owners with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations, and maintenance solutions.
Indiana University incorporates green principles in all phases of a building's life cycle and is dedicated to developing and renovating buildings that use resources efficiently and create healthy environments.
