In June 2008, the City Council of the City of El Paso enacted the Sustainable Design Standards for City Buildings policy (see Ordinance 16911, updated in July 2012 in this resolution). All new City buildings over 5,000 square feet in size are required to be designed, contracted, and built to achieve the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification level or two Green Globes under the Green Globes Design Rating System. Future major renovations and non-occupied City buildings will also be designed, contracted, and built to include as many principles of the LEED program or Green Globes Design Rating System that are feasible.
