Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The UW currently has 12 LEED projects in process and 1 Envision http://www.sustainableinfrastructure.org/rating/ project in process.
When the President's Executive Policy was put into place in 2012, an additional program was put into place to guide the building and construction of 300 annual projects. This process called the SustainAbilities Scorecard establishes a collaborative and transparent process to establish the sustainability intent and successes of projects. This has been established as an architect's contractual requirement with the UW to work together with all consultants, contractors, project managers and construction manages and client to meet the goals of each project. These numbers are reported to UW Leadership.
