Genzyme Corporation is in the middle of setting up its new corporate headquarters, which incorporates many innovative green building features. After learning the building as intended would likely earn a LEED Silver rating, an intermediate score in the LEED green building rating scheme, the CEO charged the building team with researching opportunities that would enable the building to earn the highest rating, LEED Platinum.
Five additional green building characteristics are described, and students are asked to assess and recommend which, if any, of these characteristics to pursue based on their cost, their influence on the environmental performance of the building, and likelihood of earning LEED credits.
