High Performance Buildings

Virtually all new construction on campus targets LEED certification from the United States Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design system and this must include a minimum of seven points from the Optimize Energy Performance Credit. In 2010 UK opened its first LEED certified facility, the Davis Marksbury Building. When the projects currently under construction are completed and certified, the university will have 24 LEED buildings representing more than 15% of our total building stock. Fourteen of these are new residence halls which are designed to be an average of 60% more efficient than their predecessors.
