Program Summary
The City of Phoenix has had energy standards for public buildings in place since 2005. In June 2005, the Phoenix City Council adopted a policy requiring all new city buildings built with 2006 bond funds to at least meet the LEED Certified level. Presently, the City of Phoenix requires LEED Silver certification for all of its own new buildings. This requirement is a part of the city's broader environmental sustainability goals, which include a goal of being carbon neutral by 2060. More information on these goals may be found here.
