  1. What to Expect with LEED Version 4 Carrie Webster, LEED AP BD+C Maureen K. Roskoski, SFP, LEED AP O+M

  2. Outline • LEED V4 Major Concepts and Changes • What This Means For You

  3. LEED v4: IMPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES

  4. LEED Certification Trends LEED v4 SYSTEM GOALS

  5. GLOBAL ADAPTATIONS

  6. MARKET SECTOR ADAPTATIONS • Data Centers • Warehouses and Distribution Centers • Hospitality • Existing Buildings for Schools • Existing Buildings for Retail • Homes Multifamily Midrise

  7. LEED v4 TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENTS: INTEGRATIVE PROCESS Highlights: New BD+C credit (outside of other categories) to encourage synergies between disciplines and systems. Requires documentation that multiple disciplines have been involved in early design discussions on energy and water efficiency.

  8. Performance in Location and Transportation LOCATION AND TRANSPORTATION

  9. Highlights: • New credit category to improve alignment between commercial rating systems and LEED ND. • More performance-based credits with improved ties to anticipated outcome. • bicycle facilities must link to bike network • quality alternative transit – consider trip frequency, walking distance • selecting a high priority site (dense/diverse area, away from sensitive receptors)

  10. Performance in Sustainable Sites SUSTAINABLE SITES

  11. Highlights: New credit for site assessment (BD+C). Stricter standards for rainwater management (BD+C). Major simplification to light pollution reduction creditthrough new option for BUG rated equipment.

  12. Performance in Water Efficiency WATER EFFICIENCY

  13. Highlights: New prerequisite focuses on measuring water use through fundamentalbuilding metering requirements. Additional points in credit for metering of subsystems. Addressing all water uses including fixtures & fittings, process, appliance, cooling towers, and outdoor water.

  14. Defining Performance in Energy & Atmosphere ENERGY AND ATMOSPHERE

  15. Highlights: New prerequisite - building level energy metering required for all projects. Minimum Energy Performance: 5% above ASHRAE 90.1-2010 for BD+C. Minimum ENERGY STAR score now 75 for EBOM. New credit for Demand Response.

  16. ENERGY CODE PROGRESS LEED v4

  17. Materials & Resources MATERIALS AND RESOURCES

  18. Highlights: Life cycle thinking approach to category, at building and product level. More credit for multiple attributes of a material. Focus on product transparency and outcomes through building disclosure & optimization credits. New BD+C construction waste option for waste minimization.

  19. INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

  20. Highlights: Category focused on key indicators of air, light, sound, and occupant experience. More performance-based credits focused on health and wellbeing outcomes (e.g. - material emissions instead of VOC content). New credit (BD+C) for acoustics.

  26. LEED v4: Frequently Asked Questions

  27. What are the registration and certification fees for LEED v4? • Registration and certification fees for LEED v4 are the same as current pricing for LEED 2009 registration and certification. http://www.usgbc.org/cert-guide

  28. How can a current project adopt parts of LEED v4? • Beginning in January 2014, a number of alternative compliance paths will be incorporated into LEED 2009 that allow projects to adopt portions of LEED v4. Only portions of the LEED v4 program approved for use in LEED 2009 by the LEED Steering Committee are allowed. • This information will be posted within each affected LEED 2009 credit at www.usgbc.org/credits

  29. When is the last day to register for LEED 2009? • Projects may register for LEED 2009 until June 1, 2015.

  30. Are the LEED Green Associate and LEED AP specialty exams being updated? • Yes, the LEED Professional Credential exams will feature LEED v4 material beginning in late spring 2014. • The credential designation will remain the same and current credentialed professionals will not need to retest. • Current exams - before June 2014. • LEED v4 exams - after June 2014.

  31. Do I need LEED project experience to take the LEED AP with specialty exam? • Sort of…..LEED project experience is being tested rather than documented as a prerequisite. • LEED project experience competency will be assessed within the exam. • The requirement to submit proof of LEED project experience at the time of application is no longer required.

  32. Do I need LEED project experience to take the LEED AP with specialty exam? • Sort of…..LEED project experience is being tested rather than documented as a prerequisite. • LEED project experience competency will be assessed within the exam. • The requirement to submit proof of LEED project experience at the time of application is no longer required.

  33. LEED v4: WHERE ARE WE NOW?

  34. LEED v4: CURRENT STATUS • Held six public comment periods and received over 23,000 comments • Passed ballot in June 2013 with 86% approval • Extended registration for LEED 2009 until June 2015 • Engaged over 100 project teams in LEED v4 beta test • Program launch at Greenbuild in November 2013
