A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
In 2007, George Mason University's (Mason) Board of Visitors pledged that all of Mason new buildings will be designed and built to a minimum of US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)Silver standard. In addition, the state of Virginia in Executive Order 19 (2010) states that all new buildings shall meet the Virginia Energy Conservation and Environmental Standards for energy performance and water conservation. While Mason has its buildings built to LEED Silver standards and the Virginia Energy Conservation and Environmental Standards, Mason has limited budget to complete the LEED certification process for each new building. Therefore, LEED Silver or higher certification is pursued for a limited number of Mason's new buildings.

In 2007, President Merten pledged that all of George Mason (Mason) University new buildings will be designed and built to a minimum Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)Silver standard. In addition, the state of Virginia in Executive Order 19 (2010) states that all new buildings shall meet the Virginia Energy Conservation and Environmental Standards for energy performance and water conservation. So while Mason has its buildings built to LEED Silver standards and the Virginia Energy Conservation and Environmental Standards, Mason has limited budget to complete the LEED certification process for each new building. Therefore, LEED Silver or higher certification is pursued for a limited number of Mason's new buildings.
