BUILDING GREEN

The DU Law building is the first in the nation to conform to the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environment Design certification system. Some of the facility’s green features include:

• An energy conservation system that uses 40 percent less total energy than a comparable conventional building
  
• Building materials with a high percentage of post-consumer recycled components
  
• Exterior lighting that does not pollute the night sky
  
• Infrared sensors on faucets and other water-efficient fixtures that can reduce water use by as much as 39 percent
  
• An advanced ventilation system that maintains superior indoor air quality
  
• Recharging stations for electric vehicles
