Why LEED
Federal Energy and Sustainability
Laws/Regulations/Policies
► Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 05)
► Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA
2007)
► High Performance and Sustainable Buildings (2006)
► Executive Order 13423: Strengthening Federal
Environmental, Energy and Transportation
Management (2007)
► High Performance and Sustainable Buildings (HPSB)
Guidance (2008)

LEED SILVER CERTIFIED VS.
CERTIFIABLE
BUILDING STRONG®
LEED Silver “Certifiable”
Government Validation vs. GBCI Certification
USACE District is responsible for applying GBCI
standards, reviewing project LEED
documentation for conformance and determining
rating
Government Validation is default for all projects
(even when LEED certification is required)
GBCI letter templates must be used
BUILDING STRONG®
LEED Silver Certifiable
When “Certifiable” project is the requirement:
►Apply GBCI standards of interpretation
►Match GBCI documentation requirements
►“Certifiable”- Must be able to achieve GBCI Silver certification if submitted”
BUILDING STRONG®
Government Validation Review
District Review Team consists of a
minimum: a LEED AP, an architect and
electrical, mechanical, and civil engineer.
ACSIM Validation Program (USACE
HQ/ACSIM)
BUILDING STRONG®
Projects Required to Meet
LEED Silver All New Vertical Construction Projects with
Climate Controlled Facilities.
Renovation/Repair Projects that exceed
the Garrison Commander‟s Authority and
exceed 25% replacement cost.
Minimum 5% required to be GBCI LEED
Silver Certified.
BUILDING STRONG®
Projects Exempt from Meeting
LEED Silver Horizontal Construction
Vertical Projects that are not climate
controlled for human comfort.
Overseas Contingency Construction and
CONUS Interim Facilities
THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT LEED
GOES AWAY!!!

LEED IN PROPOSALS
BUILDING STRONG®
DB Technical Evaluation(MILCON TRANSFORMATION PROJECTS)
Confirm mandatory, prohibited credits
Check for inconsistencies between LEED points and other portions of proposal
► Daylight, views points versus room layout & fenestration
► 30% energy reduction versus building envelope/insulation
► Bike rack/shower credit versus shower on plans
► Site heat island credit versus shaded, porous & concrete pavement
► Water use reduction credit versus proposed fixtures
Confirm correct assumptions on credits that require post-occupancy activities
BUILDING STRONG®
Innovation Credits
Innovation & Design credits are prohibited if they are not accompanied by a formal GBCI approval
► Match a credit from the USGBC ID Credits Catalog (at usgbc.org)
► Accompanied by a GBCI Credit Interpretation Ruling (CIR)
► Do not count toward minimum number of points in proposal unless complies (may seek approval after award)

LEED Design Coordination
Meetings DB Post Award conference/DBB Pre-
Design Conference
Design Review conferences/OBRs
PM will coordinate formal endorsement,
reporting and filing of final design score.
May or may not include meeting.

Validating Design Credits
Incorporate LEED credit into drawings/specs
Design credits, checklists, templates and
supporting documentation is a separable portion
of the Design Analysis and provided with each
required submittal
Design documentation shall be in conformance
with GBCI requirements for claimed credits.

LEED IN THE FUTURE
BUILDING STRONG®
USACE Adoption of LEED 2009
USGBC cut off v2.2 registrations on 26 June 09
ECB 2008-27 requested all Corps Districts register all
FY10 and FY11 known Army projects prior to cutoff date
All projects registered before cutoff date may be
executed using v2.2
► In MT RFPS indicate registered by Government,
administration transferred to Contractor after award
All FY10 and FY11 projects not registered under v2.2 will
have to be executed using LEED 2009
FY12 and beyond projects will use LEED 2009 NC
BUILDING STRONG®
LEED Certification Levels
LEED 2009
110 possible points
Platinum 80 + points
Gold 60 - 79 points
Silver 50 - 59 points
Certified 40 - 49 points
Launched Spring 09, all
projects not registered prior to
June 09 must use LEED 2009.
LEED v2.2
69 possible points
Platinum 52 - 69 points
Gold 39 - 51 points
Silver 33 - 38 points
Certified 26 - 32 points
USACE has used v2.2 since
FY08 when LEED became a
project requirement

LEED 2009
Program Requirements
To be considered for GBCI certification a building must:
Must comply with Environmental Laws
Be a complete, permanent building or space (no mobile structures)
Be either a new building or major renovation of a building in it‟s entirety (no partial buildings). Horizontally attached buildings (additions) are OK if physically distinct.
Have a project boundary that includes all contiguous land supporting that building‟s normal operations and construction.
BUILDING STRONG®
LEED 2009
Program Requirements
To be considered for GBCI certification a building must:
Must comply with minimum FTE & Floor Area requirements
Commitment to share whole building energy use data with USGBC.
Must Comply with a Minimum Building Area to Site Area Ratio.

LEED 2009 Trends
BUILDING STRONG®
LEED 2009 – Changes in CreditsUpdated credits to incorporate CIR responses
WEc3 – Updated baseline water fixture usage
– Lavatory Faucets = 0.5 gpm (vs. 2.5 gpm)
– Kitchen faucets = 2.2 gpm (vs. 2.5 gpm)
IEQc4.3 revised to address all flooring types, not just carpet
IEQc3.2 – Clarified all finishes and final cleaning required to be
completed prior to building flush out.
Formaldehyde concentration reduced.
IEQc5 – Entryway systems required to be 10 feet rather than 6 feet.
IEQc8.1 – Daylight simulation, new prescriptive path, or measurement
BUILDING STRONG®
LEED 2009 Energy Efficiency
More focus needs to be placed on energy!
It often secondary to other credits that are cheaper to „buy‟
LEED effort may be discredited because buildings not performing as anticipated.
All projects pursuing certification will be required to provide utility usage data.
BUILDING STRONG®
LEED 2009
Raising the bar
►New Prerequisites added to energy efficiency
and water efficiency categories
– WEp1 20% water use reduction
– EAp2 10% energy savings over ASHRAE 90.1, 2007
►Threshold Change
– WEc3.1/3.2 increase to 30/40% from 20/30%
– EAc1 incremental percentage increase = more pts.
– EAc2 1% renewable energy = 1 pt.
BUILDING STRONG®
LEED 2009 New Credits
►Regionalization
– Achieve LEED credits appropriate to the local issues.
►Innovation in Design
– Additional points added to innovation category
