Green Building Projects

|
CLAS aims to greatly improve the efficient of their building as well as throughout business practices in the areas of energy, water, and waste. As part of this effort, CLAS will strive for LEED-EB certification which will provide a broadly recognized rating of their efforts. |

 |
In collaboration with UC Berkeley’s Office of Sustainability, the project will establish guidelines and a checklist, similar to the Bay Area Green Business Certification, for UC Berkeley departments that take the extra step to make their workspace “greener.” |
| Grinnell Glade |
 |
Landscape Improvements & Renewal at Grinnell Glade vastly improved natural resource use and management associated with the glade. The restoration project also developed the natural asthetic appeal and broadened accesability to the area for all Cal students, staff and visitors. |
| Haste Street Child Development Center |
 |
LEED certified building standards in place at the Haste Street Child Development Center help to ensure that the facility can provide quality service and care for children without the worries of pontentially harmful environmental factors. It's also an excellent example of sustainability in the community. |
| Le Conte Hall Renovation |
 |
Remodeling Le Conte improved earthquake safety to protect students and staff who use it while also protecting the environment. Reusing building materials and taking surrounding environmental factors into account for the Le Conte Hall Renovation significantly reduced the impact of remodeling. |
| UC Berkeley Building Energy Dashboard |
 |
Spreading awareness about real campus energy usage is key to minimizing resource use. At the UC Berkeley Building Energy Dashboard you can look up the actual energy usage for specific buildings on campus. Some buildings even have real-time graphs to provide the most accurate and current data. Also find tools to compare data and get hard statistics on campus-wide energy usage. |
| UC Botanical Garden Entrance |
 |
The permeable pavement demonstration project at the UCB Botanical Garden Entrance dramatically improved the appearance, accessibility, and safety of the area. Now the entryway to the amazing variety of plants displayed at the garden are helping the university lead by example in environmental planning and design. |
| UC Office of the President Franklin Building |
 |
In the case of existing buildings, environmental planning is not possible, but the university still works to reduce their environmental impact by making the necessary adjustments to meet LEED (Leaders in Environmental Engineering and Design) standards for Existing Buildings (EB). Get into the details by reading up on the UC Office of the President case study that details the process and the benefits of meeting LEED EB standards. |

|
Together, the occupants of University Hall began an initiative to Go Green! to become the highest LEED-EB certified building on campus as the end goal. Components of this project include replacing inefficient appliances to education and communication with building residents in conjunction with Building Sustainability at Cal. |
