Leadership in energy & environmental design LEED Dylan Beyerlein Tim McGowan
what is leed…? • Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to provide building owners and operators a concise framework for implementing green building design, construction, operation, and maintenance solutions into any construction or renovation project. • LEED consists of a rating system for design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings and homes. Certified: 40 – 49 points Silver: 50 – 59 points Gold: 60 – 79 points Platinum: 80 + points • Main Credit Categories • Sustainable Sites credits • Water Efficiency credits • Energy & Atmosphere credits • Materials & Resources credits • Indoor Environmental Quality credits
Additional leed credits For Neighborhood Development For Homes • Location & Linkage credits • Awareness & Education credits • Smart Location & Linkage credits • Neighborhood Pattern & Design credits • Green Infrastructure & Building credits Bonus Credits • Innovation in Design or in Operations credits • Regional Priority credits
To get a project leed certified… • Document the Project for Certification • Two parts needed:(1) Preliminary submission – includes two copies of letter template file and two identical three-ring binders with scorecard, project narrative, illustrative drawings and photos, letter templates, and backup documentation for targeted credits(2) Final submission – revised set of preliminary submission • Receive Certification • USGBC issues “Final LEED Review” report that indicates final status of pursued credits and level of certification • Register Project • Should be done as early as possible – typically during schematic design phase • Registration is done online via USGBC’s website • Integrate LEED Requirements • Architects use scorecard to show project’s potential and integrated solutions • A particular design is rendered effective when it can achieve more than just one credit • Obtain Technical Support • During the certification process, every LEED-registered project is allotted two free requests for a credit interpretation ruling (CIR) on questions and concerns that arise
“Self-Reliance” – by the students of Middlebury College in Middlebury, VT Leed solar decathlon Project
Materials Local Woods – Sugar Maple Trees: low energy/costs. High Performance Glass – Triple glazed windows: high visual light transmittance values. Recycled Insulation – Uses blown cellulose: recycled newspaper. Natural Finishes and Paints Foundation – Uses a system of jacks on top of milling.
Plan To Elevation (Equal) Relationship of a plan to a section or elevation entails design by using a noticeable correlation between horizontal and vertical axis of the building
Unit To Whole Divided into six roof modules and two floor modules for easier assembly, disassembly, and transport. Shows units relative to the other units in the building. Entities that correspond to spaces/structures.
Geometry (Basic) Shown as if a plane, with range of shapes and sizes (Basic rectangle here).
Geometry (nine-square) Shown as a 3 x 3 grid and develops more repetition.
Configuration Patterns (Cluster) Spaces or forms are grouped with no discernable pattern This project shows the formative idea in a rectangular shape
Configuration Patterns (Linear Use) There is a linear correlation of the layout of the project This helps to utilize the space and the flow of convenience for use
Additive Shows the buildings forms. The rendering parts are dominant.
Subtractive Represented by the whole unit as dominant; with pieces taken away. This project subtracts a square out of the corner of the rectangular layout for the entryway.
Reduction (Large plus Small) The relationship of a building based on similar looks of large/small features. This project is a great example of this.
