LEED v4 New Construction Kickoff Presentation

LEED v4 Credits

1. Introduction To LEED v4 for Building Design and Construction (New Construction)

2. Stages of Construction

3. Team Matrix

4. Modules

5. Location and Transportation (LT) Location and Transportation Sustainable Sites Water Efficiency Energy and Atmosphere Materials and Resources Indoor Environmental Quality

6. LT Credit: LEED for ND Location Locate the project within the boundary of a development certified under LEED for Neighbourhood Development Note: Projects attempting this credit are not eligible to earn points under other LT credits

7. LT Credit: Sensitive Land Protection Locate the development footprint on land that has been previously developed

8. LT Credit: High-Priority Site Locate the project on an infill location or on a brownfield where soil and groundwater contamination has been identified

9. LT Credit: Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses Prominent public amenities should be located in the vicinity of the building and surrounding areas should meet the prescribed density

10. LT Credit: Access to Quality Transit Public transit stops and/or metro rail stations should be located within the specified distance from the main entrance of the project

11. LT Credit: Bicycle Facilities Provide designated bicycle storage space in the parking area and also provide on-site shower room in common areas as per prescribed norms

12. LT Credit: Reduced Parking Footprint Do not exceed the minimum local code requirements for parking capacity.

13. LT Credit: Green Vehicles Provide electric charging facilities for hybrid vehicles in the parking areas

14. Module Summary Location and Transportation Sustainable Sites Water Efficiency Energy and Atmosphere Materials and Resources Indoor Environmental Quality

15. Sustainable Sites (SS) Location and Transportation Sustainable Sites Water Efficiency Energy and Atmosphere Materials and Resources Indoor Environmental Quality

16. SS Prerequisite: Construction Activity Pollution Prevention Create and Implement an erosion and sedimentation control plan for all construction activities

17. SS Credit: Site Assessment Assess site conditions before design to evaluate sustainable design options

18. SS Credit: Site Development – Protect or Restore Habitat Use native and adaptive vegetation species to restore the disturbed site surface

19. SS Credit: Open Space Provide pedestrian-oriented outdoor spaces and a portion of this open space should be vegetated and/or shaded

20. SS Credit: Rainwater Management The annual post-development storm water run-off should be less than the pre-development run-off volume

21. SS Credit: Heat Island Reduction Use high reflective materials for flooring in roof and non-roof areas visible to sky to minimize microclimatic effect by reducing heat islands

22. SS Credit: Light Pollution Reduction Increase night sky access, improve night time visibility, meet light trespass requirements

23. Module Summary Location and Transportation Sustainable Sites Water Efficiency Energy and Atmosphere Materials and Resources Indoor Environmental Quality

24. Water Efficiency (WE) Location and Transportation Sustainable Sites Water Efficiency Energy and Atmosphere Materials and Resources Indoor Environmental Quality

25. WE Prerequisite: Outdoor Water Use Reduction Reduce the irrigation water demand of the project with efficient choice of vegetation species. The percentage reduction has to be calculated against the prescribed base case.

26. WE Prerequisite: Indoor Water Use Reduction Reduce potable water demand of the building by selection of low flow fixtures (both flushing and flow fixtures) having flow rates less than the prescribed base case.

27. WE Prerequisite: Building Level Water Metering Install permanent water meters that measure the total potable water use for the building and associated open areas

28. WE Credit: Cooling Tower Water Use For cooling towers, conduct a one-time potable water analysis, measuring the 5 control parameters prescribed by LEED

29. WE Credit: Water Metering Install permanent water meters to measure minimum 2 of the following: Irrigation, Indoor Plumbing Fixtures, Domestic Hot Water, STP, RWH etc.
