Performance Contracting with Siemens

Performance contracting  is a funding and management mechanism that allows WVU to make physical infrastructure efficiency improvements with minimal up-front costs, and use the savings to pay for the work over time. WVU began its contract with partner Siemens in 2008, and is now in its 3rd phase.

WVU does have one LEED certified building on the Morgantown campus-- Oglebay Hall, whose total renovation was completed in 2009.
