LEED Buildings at Carnegie Mellon

---

As of 2000, Carnegie Mellon's objective with new construction on campus is to meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification with the target of Silver rating. This green building rating system is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. The New House residence hall is the first building on campus to meet the requirements of certification. Also, the completely renovated Henderson House, Posner Center, and the Collaborative Innovation Center, are designed to meet LEED criteria.

Center for Building Performance and Diagnostics
The CBPD conducts research, demonstrations, and teaching in building performance and diagnostics, whiles also engaging in ground breaking work that investigates the impact of advanced technology on the physical, environmental, and social settings in office buildings. The CBPD collaborates with FMS on the design of LEED buildings on campus. Visit the CBPD web site here for more info!
