LACCD Builds “Green” at Valley College
的 Los Angeles Community College 区 (LACCD) Board of Trustees has adopted a district-wide Sustainable Building Plan to incorporate energy-saving 和 environmentally friendly features into the new structures. Buildings with more than 7,500 square feet are required to incorporate "green" st和ards advocated by the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED™) certification program.
LACCD's trustees worked with local community members 和 environmental groups, such as the 塞拉俱乐部 和 全球绿色, so the plan would be both environmentally protective 和 fiscally responsible. Construction costs will increase but should be offset by rebates, 激励, 和 long-term savings through conservation of energy 和 water.
在山谷学院, the following buildings have been built according to LEED™ certification st和ards:
- 政府 & 职业生涯 Advancement building - LEED金牌
- 盟军的健康 & 科学中心 - LEED银牌
- 儿童发展 & 复杂的家庭 - LEED认证
- Community 服务 Center - LEED金牌
- 图书馆 & Academic Resource Center - LEED金牌
- 维护 & Operations / 治安官站 - LEED认证
- Monarch Athletic Center - LEED银牌
- 学生服务 Center & 附件 - LEED认证
- 学生会 - LEED银牌
