5. LEED Implementation Timeline for the project – Once you become a LEED Green Associate, you will be playing an active role on LEED certification projects. LEED APs will directly be involved in guiding the project team toward certification. Understand the LEED implementation timeline, and you will effectively achieve your LEED goal!
Pre-Design Phase - establish preliminary sustainable design strategy.
Schematic Design Phase – establish LEED goals and submits CIRs as needed.
Design Development Phase – integrate LEED requirements with design, develop alternative compliance paths or innovative design strategies, attend interim LEED check-in meetings, pay USGBC for CIR, if necessary
Construction Administration Phase - collect and compile the submittals related to the materials credits, such as recycled content of materials, to ensure that the percentage of pre-consumer recycled content and post-consumer recycled content has been identified. Monitor and photograph progress.
Post-Occupancy Phase – Finalize all documentation in accordance with credit requirements, finalize the LEED Project Checklist, finalize LEED Credit Templates, provide project narrative, submit documentation to the USGBC for review through LEED-Online
4. How to choose the appropriate rating system – LEED certification projects must be organized according to a particular rating system. Each system has its own distinguishing characteristics and intentions.
LEED New Construction & Major Renovations – designed to guide and distinguish high-performance commercial and institutional projects
LEED Existing Buildings - provides a benchmark for building owners and operators to measure operations, improvements and maintenance
LEED Commercial Interiors – benchmark for the tenant improvement market that gives the power to make sustainable choices to tenants and designers
LEED Core & Shell – aids designers, builders, developers and new building owners in implementing sustainable design for new core and shell construction
LEED Houses – promotes the design and construction of high-performance green homes
LEED Neighborhood Developments – integrates the principles of smart growth, urbanism and green building into the first national program for neighborhood design
LEED Schools – recognizes the unique nature of the design and construction of K-12 schools and addresses the specific needs of school spaces
LEED Retail – recognizes the unique nature of retail design and construction projects and addresses the specific needs of retail spaces
LEED Healthcare – promotes sustainable planning, design and construction for high-performance healthcare facilities
