USGBC Campus Guidance – Above Green

Introduction

This LEED Campus Guidance is for projects that are on a shared site under the control of a single entity; for example, a corporate or educational campus, government installation or commercial development. This guidance seeks to:  encourage a holistic approach to project management  define campus‐appropriate documentation requirements and capture economies of scale in the certification process  address the unique challenges and opportunities inherent in campus projects  maintain the technical integrity and rigor of the LEED rating systems If projects are expected to have credit submittal documentation that is the same because they are on a campus, this guidance can help streamline the documentation submitted for review under the standard LEED certification process. LEED 2009 and LEED v4 project teams that wish to utilize the group and campus approaches outlined in this guidance must meet all requirements outlined in the guidance. This guidance does NOT constitute a new rating system. The credit and prerequisite requirements are unchanged and remain consistent with the published LEED Rating Systems, Reference Guides, Addenda, and LEED Online Forms.
