CTC Award Winners - Sustainable Buildings

The majority of Federal sustainable buildings incorporate the principles laid out in the Whole Building Design Guide (WBDG) and the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED system. These metric systems evaluate a sustainable building on 6 umbrella categories: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy efficiency, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, and innovative operational and maintenance practices. Under the LEED system, the project can receive a rating depending on the number of points the project obtains in each category. USGBC rates LEED projects as certified, silver, gold, and platinum.
