As a "Ruby Book" to popularize green building and LEED, the book introduces the ten-year development of LEED in China in the form of short stories, and provides insights into the green development visions of LEED advocates and practitioners in various industries through interviews, which is in line with the concept of sustainable development upheld by the International Campus.
The library has been practicing green concepts since opening, and was awarded LEED O+M Platinum Certification in 2019 and selected for the longlist of the IFLA Green Library Award in 2023, contributing to the construction of a sustainable campus for the campus and actively moving toward a green library system.
