ENV 220 - Campus Sustainability Consulting and LEED Expertise

Experiential Learning (EXP): Yes
Credits: 3

ENV 120 provides a large systems context for this course (ENV 220) but is not a prerequisite. Using the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating systems and working alongside sustainability consultants, students investigate the W&L campus grounds and facilities and develop detailed action plans for the university, in order to meet sustainability and climate goals and maximize credits toward a LEED Campus designation. The consulting teams present their findings to decision makers in order to assist W&L in achieving LEED Silver Certification or better for all new construction and major renovations.
