Green Building Trends in Higher Education
There are more than 3,000 LEED projects on U.S. college and university campuses today. This white paper is the first comprehensive investigation of the green building trend in higher education. The paper reviews both LEED statistics and green building criteria used in the growing number of campus sustainability rating and ranking systems. On average, between 2002 and 2009, buildings on college and university campuses accounted for 15% of all LEED project registrations. LEED EBOM registrations have become increasingly popular over the past several years. This is a promising change for the better, as almost all of the building stock on college campuses already exists in any given two to five-year period. Reducing the impacts of existing buildings is critical to meeting carbon
emission reduction and green building goals.

Yudelson Associates developed a simple and straightforward approach to sustainability planning through numerous consulting projects with trade groups, manufacturers, development firms, and universities. In our view, there are five key steps for establishing a corporate sustainability program: setting the vision; staffing the effort, establishing metrics to measure progress, implementing strategic initiatives, and communicating the results to all stakeholders.
