Online Modules LEED v4 Process: Prerequisites Pre-requisites 

The term ‘prerequisite’ refers to a mandatory project characteristic. Measurement, quality, value or function as identified within the LEED rating system.



Prerequisites represent that key criteria that define green building performance.



Failure to meet any prerequisite will render a project ineligible for certification.

Examples

SUSTAINABLE SITE PREREQUISITE 1 – CREATE A CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN

WATER EFFICIENCY PREREQUISITE 1 – REDUCE OVERALL WATER CONSUMPTION BY 20% (COMPARED TO BASELINE)

ENERGY & ATMOSPHERE PREREQUISITE 3- ZERO USE OF CFC-BASED REFRIGERANTS

MATERIALS AND RESOURCES PREREQUISITE- COLLECT AND STORE RECYCLABLES

LEED v4 Process: Credits

Credits 

The phrase ‘credit’ means a non-mandatory project characteristic, measurement, quality, value or function as identified within a LEED rating system. Credits represent particular facets of sustainable design that contributes to overall green building performance.



No single credit is mandatory, credits are selected and pursued at the options of a LEED project team.



Each credit for the rating system include information on: INTENTS STRATEGIES REQUIREME NTS ENVIRONMENTAL & ECONOMIC ISSUES RELATED CREDITS

REFERENCE STANDARDS IMPLEMENTATION IDEAS & STRATEGIES TIMELINE AND TEAM INFORMATION CALCULATION DOCUMENTATION

EXEMPLARY PERFORMANCE

Local, state, and federal rules ALWAYS take precedent over LEED requirements and referenced LEED standards. If a LEED Credit says ‘do X,’ first review any relevant laws, codes, local ordinances, and statutes to make sure there isn’t a conflict.

GBRIonline.org

1. Give clear guidance to customers 2. Protect the integrity of the LEED program 3. Reduce challenges that occur during the LEED certification process

Minimum Program Requirements

Online Modules LEED v4 Process: Minimum Program Requirements Minimum Program Requirements 1. Must be in a permanent location on existing land 2. Must use reasonable LEED boundaries 3. Must comply with project size requirements

Online Modules LEED v4 Process: Minimum Program Requirements Minimum Program Requirements 1. Must be in a permanent location on existing land Criteria

Intent Since LEED credits are dependent on the project’s location, it is critical to evaluate projects as permanent structures.

GBRIonline.org



All projects must be constructed and operated in a permanent location on existing land. •

No project that is designed to move at any point in its lifetime may pursue LEED certification.



Applies to all land within the LEED project.

17

4/28/2015

Online Modules LEED v4 Process: Minimum Program Requirements Minimum Program Requirements 2. Must use reasonable LEED boundaries Criteria

Intent Defining a reasonable LEED boundary ensures that project is accurately evaluated.





The LEED boundary must include all contiguous land that is associated with the project and supports its operations. The boundary may not unreasonably exclude portions of the building, space, or site to give the project an advantage.



Project team must clearly communicate the project boundary and distinguish it from noncertifying spaces.

Online Modules LEED v4 Process: Minimum Program Requirements 3. Must comply with project size requirements Intent LEED requirements do not accurately assess the performance of projects outside of these size requirements.

Criteria LEED BD+C: minimum1,000 square feet of gross floor area LEED O+M: minimum1,000 square feet of gross floor area LEED ID+C: minimum 250 square feet of gross floor area LEED for Homes: defined as a “dwelling unit” by all applicable codes LEED for ND: at least 2 habitable buildings , no larger than 1500 acres

Credit Interpretation Requests/Rulings (CIR)

GBRIonline.org

4/28/2015

Online LEED v4Modules Process: Credit Interpretation Request

Credit Interpretation Requests $220 = cost of submitting a CIR

USGBC company members, LEED registered project team members, and workshop attendees have access to view CIRs. CIR ruling do not affect the existing requirements of credits within the rating system.

Rulings = 2-5 weeks

600 words = limit of CIR

 No credit or points are awarded by the CIR process  The project team must still demonstrate credit compliance in order to achieve the credit

Online Modules LEED v4 Process: LEED Interpretation

LEED Interpretations are official answers to technical inquiries about implementing LEED on a project.
