The University of Virginia Green Building Standards outline UVA’s minimum expectations for aligning University-wide sustainability goals with building design, construction, and maintenance. Each specification has one or more of the following goals: reduce environmental impact, reduce anticipated life cycle costs, and/or promote healthier and safer buildings. 

The Green Building Standards apply to all projects (any project requiring a building or project permit) and are included in Chapter 8 of the UVA University Design Guidelines.
