By earning LEED Gold certification, The Santos Manuel Student Union - North is the fifth building on the California State University, San Bernardino's campus to be LEED-certified. The team focused on the use of high-performance insulated glass, and efficient mechanical systems to reduce energy. Climate-appropriate landscape and water-efficient irrigation systems were utilized to reduce the use of site-related water, in addition to measures to minimize stormwater runoff and allow stormwater to percolate into the natural soil to help it reach its certification goals.
