Abstract	As interest in green building grows, much discussion has focused on aligning a project with the principles of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification: (1) cost savings through energy and water conservation; (2) improved worker productivity; (3) health, insurance and risk-management benefits; and (4) enhanced building value. LEED provides a national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings, but building green is an important consideration regardless of whether a school is pursuing certification. Throughout a project, green building experts--design architects, interior designers, lighting and landscape engineers, and facility managers--can offer insights that keep a project on schedule and on budget. The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) also offers accreditation for professionals such as architects, engineers and interior designers. Using LEED-accredited professionals can be critical in helping education institutions reach green building goals. (ERIC).
