                     11 Does this plan provide for a minimum of 75 percent recycling (by weight or vol-
                        ume) of all construction waste?
                     12 Is it possible to require the recycling of larger proportions of construction waste,
                        such as 95 percent or more, and thereby qualify for a LEED innovation credit?




                      PLATINUM PROJECT PROFILE
                      The Christman Building, Lansing, Michigan
                      The Christman building is the first building to be certified at both LEED-CS
                      Platinum and LEED-CI Platinum levels.  A renovated 1928 landmark, the
                      Christman Building is located on a former brownfield. Over 90 percent of the for-
                      mer walls, roof, floors and office furnishings were reused. The $12 million proj-
                      ect is expected to save $40,000 a year in energy costs. The Christman Company,
                      who provided construction management, historic preservation, LEED coordina-
                      tion and real estate development services for the project, occupies about half of
                      the six-story, 62,000-square-feet class A office building.
