This approach can be used to determine an overall home size adjuster for for multi-family buildings and attached townho

but it cannot be used to determine an overall home size adjuster for a complex with multiple multi-family buildings. If a pr

Please insert the # of units in each building, and the average square footage for units with the corresponding bedroom

number. For example, if building 1 has three 2-bedroom units that are 1300, 1400, and 1500 square feet, insert "3" in

LEED for Homes Durability Guidelines

Introduction:

Durability Evaluation Steps:

5. Ensure that the durability management plan includes a specific design and/or construction strategy.

7. Ensure that each strategy is adequately drawn and/or described in the relevant project documents.

Durability Inspection Checklist Steps:

These guidelines are provided as a tool to assist you in evaluating durability risks and implementing durability

measures for your LEED Home.

You should develop a program and set of durability measures that are specific to your project and location. Thestrategies listed in the following pages are intended only as guidance and may or may not be appropriate for a givenhome. This is not an exhaustive list of possibilities, nor is it intended to represent a set of strategies appropriate forany specific project. Additional and/or different strategies may be needed, depending on the home's location, detailsof construction, and anticipated occupant requirements.

An effective durability management program will consider -- among other things -- the important interrelationshipsamong energy, moisture, and air quality, and how those dynamics are addressed in other LEED for Homes creditsthat you may or may not pursue. Many of the credits in the LEED for Homes Rating System can serve as durabilitystrategies, and may be used in the creation of a durability inspection checklist. If this is done, the home can stillreceive LEED points for those credits.

The Durability Strategies page contains a list of resources you may find helpful for your durability management plan.It includes a list of durability measures that are required or rewarded in other green homebuilding programs.

1. Collect site- and project-specific data on environmental conditions (outdoor and indoor) and occupancy and enterinto the appropriate sections of the Durability Risk Evaluation Form.

2. If you have a quality management plan in place, review documents and records of callbacks, warranty claims, andlitigation in order to identify recurring quality problems.

3. Identify issues of particular interest or concern, and include these in the Durability Risk Evaluation Form, which listsmajor issues for which durability management strategies typically are needed and provides space for others to beadded.

4. Characterize the degree of risk (low, moderate, or high) for each of the issues listed. For each moderate and highrisk issue, complete steps 5 through 8 below.

6. Ensure that the strategy addresses each of the applicable building systems, assemblies, components, and areas,and that it addresses all connections, intersections, and interactions between and among them.

1. Prior to construction, create adurability inspection checklist, listing the durability management measures to beincorporated in the home and noting where those measures appear in the project documents (drawings,specifications, scopes of work). Note that the Durability Inspection Checklist Template lists a sample strategy undereach heading; these strategies are not intended to be universal, although some may apply to a variety of projects andsites. They are included for illustrative purposes only.

2. Use the durability inspection checklist to confirm that the measures shown in the project documents are

incorporated in the home as drawn and/or specified. This should be done through the use of a quality managementplan or on-site inspections by the builder team and check-off on the durability inspection checklist.

3. If the project is pursuing optional credit ID 2.3, have the third-party rater verify that the measures are incorporatedinto the home and complete the checklist.

IC Airtight rated recessed lights in insulated ceilings

Complete air barrier between attic and conditioned space & all penetrations sealedAir filter housings must be airtight to prevent bypass or leakage.

Air seal ventilation ductwork.

Interstitial Condensation

Clothes dryers vented outdoors

Insulate all cold water pipes and avoid plumbing in exterior walls

>1 Perm finish on inside of exterior walls (only reqd in hot/humid & mixed/humid climates)

Heat Loss

Install insulation wind baffles at attic eave bays

Insulate exterior walls per IECC; do not install impermeable vapor barrier on interior side of wallCrawl spaces unvented, insulated, & conditioned (except IECC Marine Climates)

Insulate all ventilation exhaust ductwork (minimum R-8) outside of the insulated envelope.

Ultraviolet Radiation

Pests

Rodent & corrosion proof screens

Termite management measures ("Moderate to Heavy" & "Very Heavy" areas)

Additional termite management measures for "Very Heavy" areas (insulation restrictions)

Other Program-specific Requirements

Minimum 25-year expected lifetime roof warranty.

10 year warranty on vertical insulated glass.

Define "proper refrigerant charge" to be within 10% of manufacturer recommendations.Mechanical equipment must be accessible for service, including AC condensate drain pan and trap.

Use rigid duct or other methods to keep fan back-pressure below 0.2 for EOV systems.

Scope of Work: HVAC

Crawlspaces not vented; crawlspace walls insulated; crawlspace floor with complete, continuous sealed vapor retarder, also sealeto walls. (Must complete all approaches.)

Whenver carpet is installed on slab on grade or on concrete basement floor, must have: minimum R-10 continuous insulation undslab and minimum R-5 slab edge insulation break at foundation wall intersection and R-10 slab edge insulation outward of any wa

Install materials with proper detailing to control degradation from sun, including minimum 10 overhang size at eaves with a sloproof.

s a description of any changes that have been made to the LEED for Homes 2008 Checklist since its creation and re

Description of Changes

Fixed the 'Dur Risk Eval Form' headings so if the project is a multi-family building, cell G11 shows "# of Units" instead

Fixed the misspelling of 'prescriptive' on the Summary tab.

Fixed the pull-down menu in MR 3.2 on the 'Exp Checklist' tab. It had previously included the option for '1.1.5' pts.On "Accountability Form" tab, fixed the form so the contact information for the team leader (cell J80) would show up p

The LEED logo images were changed to a different format type, to prevent them from expanding when printed.

Included definitions for project type and building type on the Summary page.

Included a new page of sample durability strategies.

Updated footnotes on various pages so there are no references to Version 1.11.

Corrected the Accountability Form page so SS 4.3 appears, as appropriate.

Included space on the Expanded Checklist for information about "date last updated" and "last updated by".

Changed the name "Checklist" to "Short Checklist" and change the name "Expanded Checklist" to "Checklist".Created a "Field Checklist" tab with a flexible checklist for field verification.

as last updated on May 12, 2008.

Fixed the calculation in the multi-family home size calculator on the "MFHSA calc' tab. The previous calculator workedthe Unit Adjustments, but it miscalculated the Overall Average Adjustments for any buildings with smaller-than-averag

Fixed the assessment of certified vs. not certified in the 'Checklist' tab. The previous calculation was based on inputs tab, so if a project team only filled out the 'Checklist' tab, the project was not shown as earn certification even if it met thresholds.

Changed the format of the cells for Project Team Leader, Green Rater, Provider Certifier, and the associated companChecklist' and 'Checklist' tabs so the cells shrink to fit longer names.

Some parts of the checklist include unnecessary rounding, particularly in the energy calculation in EA 1 and the multi-adjustment calculation. These values now show the extra digit so any rounding is not hidden.

On the Summary page, included an automatic calculation for average # of bedrooms and average square footage for based on the inputs in the MF HAS calc page.

On "Accountability Form" tab, removed the option to hide credits that were not being pursued by the project team. Cowhether the project team is planning to pursue a credit or not, but all credits are visible at the top part of the sheet.

Linked the "Simple Checklist" tab with the "Checklist" tab so that when the Checklist is filled out, the Simple Checklistalso.

Removed the signature information from the bottom of the Simple Checklist. This document can no longer be submittfull Checklist (formerly the Expanded Checklist) must be submitted now.
