For this week’s Guest Post Friday here at Construction Law Musings, we welcome Elaine Hirsch. Elaine describes herself as a kind of a jack-of-all-interests, from education and history to medicine and videogames. This makes it difficult to choose just one life path, so she is currently working as a writer for various education-related sites and writing about all these things instead.
Universities across the country are constructing new buildings in compliance with LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, a system of ratings devised by the United States Green Energy Building Council. LEED is designed to provide a guide for green construction and maintenance through a building’s entire existence. When a building is LEED-compliant, it’s certified as including green technologies and maintenance practices.
