Energy & Environmental Design

The South Jordan Library has recently been awarded Silver Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design (LEED) certification by the LEED organization. LEED is a set of standards used to measure a building’s impact on the natural environment.

There are numerous benefits to a "green building." Environmental benefits include the enhancement and protection of ecosystems and biodiversity, the protection of air and water quality, the reduction of solid waste and the conservation of natural resources. Health and community benefits include improving air, thermal and acoustic environments, enhancing occupant comfort and health, minimizing strain on local infrastructure and contributing to overall quality of life. There are also significant economic benefits like reducing operating costs, enhancing building and land values, improving productivity and learning, and optimizing life-cycle economic performance.
