ALL PROJECTS HAVE:

(LEED Documentation & Submittals Checklist)
Add trees, add concrete plaza and substitute open grid pavement :
Contractor wants to substitute smaller dia trees (better establishment). Is this OK?

These are the submittals you will get during construction (look in spec SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES)

This requirement applies to 3 to 4 Materials credits
LEED credits that receive heavy emphasis during construction phase
Intent:
Reduce pollution from construction activities by controlling soil erosion, waterway sedimentation and airborne dust generation
Requirement:
Create and follow an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan that meets NPDES, regardless of site size
Requirement:
Credit MR2.1 – Recycle or divert at least 50% of non-hazardous construction and demolition debris (MANDATORY ARMY PROJECTS).
Credit MR2.2 – Same as 2.1 but take BOTH points if 75%.
Notes:
LEED allows calculation by weight or volume, Army needs it in weight for it’s reporting requirement (in MT wizard).
Army (SWAR) and Air Force need quarterly and final reports with tickets (in MT wizard). Obtain from contractor, forward to installation coordinator.
Waste mgt plan requirements are in MT Environmental Protection Plan spec.
CANNOT include excavated soil and land-clearing debris (vegetation, rocks).
MUST be generated on-site (no source reduction).
CAN include charities, salvagers, recyclers, deconstruction, reuse on-site (rubble, asphalt).
Renovations that don’t qualify for MR1 can count reused materials in this credit (not both credits).
Exclude hazardous materials from calculation.
Multiple contractors (COS) - must combine data from all contractors to determine project total (GD construction administration).
Requirement:
Credit MR4.1 – Use materials with recycled content so that the sum of post-consumer recycled content plus one-half of the post-industrial content constitutes at least 10%, based on cost, of the total value of materials on the project.
Credit MR4.2 – Same as 3.1 but take BOTH points if 20%.
Notes:
This is for incorporating new materials with recycled content.
Related to but IN ADDITION TO EPA CPG recycled content mandate requirements (individually specified).
See LEED Reference Guide for composite/partial calculations.
Building materials heavy contribution to total (concrete, steel, metals)
Multiple Contractor projects: division of percentage between contractors is on LEED Strategy Table, must combine data from all contractors to determine project total (GD construction administration).
Intent:
Increase demand for building products that are extracted and manufactured within the region, thereby supporting the use of indigenous resources and reducing the environmental impacts resulting from transportation.
Requirement:
Credit MR5.1 – Use building materials or products that have been extracted, harvested or recovered, as well asmanufactured, within 500 miles of the projects site for a minimum of 10%, based on cost, of the total value of materials on the project.
Credit MR5.2 – Same as 3.1 but take BOTH points if 20%.
Notes:
ALWAYS contractor responsibility (01 33 29).
See LEED Reference Guide for composite/partial calculations.
Site materials heavy contribution to total - Multiple Contractor projects: division of percentage between contractors in LEED Strategy Table, must combine data from all contractors to determine project total (GD construction administration).
Intent:
Reduce the use and depletion of finite raw materials and long-cycle renewable materials by replacing them with rapidly renewable materials.
Requirement:
Use rapidly renewable building materials and products (made from plants that are typically harvested within a ten-year cycle or shorter) so that the sum of these materials constitutes at least 2.5%, based on cost, of the total value of materials on the project.
Notes:
ALWAYS Designer responsibility –materials are specified, implementation strategy attached to LEED DOCUMENTATION spec.
Examples: bamboo, linoleum, cork, wheatboard, strawboard, cotton or soy insulation.
Difficult on large new construction.
NOTE: This credit requires jobsite photos for documentation!
Requirement:
Option 1 – Flush-out
OR
OR
Option 2 – Air Quality Testing
Conduct baseline IAQ testing after construction ends and all interior finishes are installed and prior to occupancy, using protocols and meeting concentration limits in LEED Reference Guide. Flush-out and re-test if tests fail.
Notes:
Include in construction schedule
Can give contractor option of flush-out or testing.
Punch-out and cleaning must be complete before starting flush-out. Can be commissioning if it does not introduce contaminants.
Intent:
Reduce the quantity of indoor air contaminants that are odorous, irritating and/or harmful to the comfort and well-being of installers and occupants.
Requirement:
Adhesives and Sealants Credit
Paints & Coatings Credit
Carpet Credit (with alternative for hard flooring)
Composite Wood & Agrifiber Credit
Notes:
VOC content except urea formaldehyde for composite wood
Most are Field-applied only.
VOC budget Alternate Compliance Path available (individual noncompliant products with overall low VOC performance).
Low-emitting materials credits include everything inside the exterior surface covering, including wall cavities, attics, above ceilings, ductwork. See LEED Reference Guide Supplemental Information section on these credits.
Demonstrated knowledge through testing
Correct interpretation of credits
At least one LEED AP in each district
Contractor has to have one
You need one too
SAS GOAL: At least ONE LEED AP at each Resident/Project Office
