McGreevey Designates that all new school design shall incorporate the guidelines developed by the US Green Building Council known as Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) to achieve maximum energy efficiency and environmental sustainability in the design of schools.

  32. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: • sustainable sites • water efficiency • energy and atmosphere • materials and resources • indoor environmental quality • Innovation and design

  33. LEED for Schools is… A nationally recognized benchmark for building and maintaining green schools that recognizes the unique nature of K-12 environments
