Describes the University of Buffalo, State University of New York publication, UB High Performance Building Guidelines, a comprehensive document that addresses both the green design process in a college and university setting and the technical stratregies necessary to apply the principles of green design to new campus construction and renovation projects. The manual is organized in a way to encourage genuine integrative, holistic sustainable design and not just the "LEED checklist approach"--where green design is a secondary priority and minimal effort is made to collect just enough LEED points to certify a building. Discusses the background of the publication, UB's energy conservation awareness program, and use of cleaner forms of energy, including wind generated electricity.
