The document discusses sustainable strategies for performing arts facilities that go beyond LEED certification. It provides several case studies of performing arts centers that implemented sustainable best practices in areas like indoor environmental quality, materials selection, water and energy conservation. Key strategies included natural ventilation, displacement ventilation, radiant heating/cooling, waterless urinals, energy efficient equipment, construction waste diversion, and use of low-VOC and recycled materials. The case studies demonstrate how facilities tailored their sustainability approaches based on factors like climate, site conditions, and user needs.
