3. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification LEED Point System 100 Point Scale (Exception: LEED for HOMES) 10 Bonus Points can be earned in two categories: Innovation in Design (ID) Regional Priority (RP) Prerequisites Mandatory Credits Optional

4. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification Sustainable Sites Location of a project is the foundation for sustainability of individual buildings or an entire neighborhood.

5. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification Location and Linkage A good project site channels development into places where it will improve, rather than degrade, the triple bottom line.

6. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification Location and Linkage brownfield previously used or developed land that may be contaminated with hazardous waste or pollution. Once any environmental damage has been remediated, the land can be reused. Redevelopment on brownfields provides an important opportunity to restore degraded urban land while promoting infill and reducing sprawl.

7. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification Location and Linkage greenfield a site that has never been developed for anything except agriculture.

10. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification Transportation Greenhouse gas From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG) is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect. The primary greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. In the Solar System, the atmospheres of Venus, Mars, and Titan also contain gases that cause greenhouse effects. Greenhouse gases greatly affect the temperature of the Earth; without them, Earth's surface would be on average about 33 °C (59 °F) colder than at present.

12. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification Stormwater Management Increase infiltration of rainfall into the ground, capture and reuse it, and use natural processes to treat the remaining water that runs off the property.

13. CMGT 380 Green Building Practices and LEED Certification Heat Island Effect To mitigate harmful urban heat island effects, project teams can install surfaces that have high albedo or a high solar reflectivity index (SRI). Albedo is a reflectivity measurement. SRI combines reflectivity with emissivity, or the ability of a material to emit energy through radiation.
