An Introduction to LEED
Presented By:
Sumeta Sachdeva, LEED AP BD+C
Agenda
An Introduction to LEED
“Green” Perceptions and “Why” Sustainable Design
US Green Building Council (USGBC) and LEED
How to get a LEED Certified Project
LEED 2009 versus LEED v4
Questions
Sustainability:Meeting the needs of the present
without compromising the needs of the
future.
Why Green/Sustainable Design?
In the US, buildings account for:
36% of total energy use and 65% of electricity consumption
30% of greenhouse gas emissions 30% of waste output = 136 million tons annually 12% of potable
water consumption
Whole Building Design GuideU.S. Naval Facilities Command:
“Many of the factors that influence environmental comfort, such as qualitylighting and adequate ventilation rates, also have a direct impact onbuilding energy use. But the relationship between productivity and buildingenergy use should be put in perspective.”
For private sector offices:
• Salaries average $200 - $600 / SF / year• Building leases average $20 - $30 / SF / year• Energy costs average $2 - $4 / SF / year
Thus, a "productivity" increase of just 1%.….
…can completely offset a building's entire utility bill!
Why Green/Sustainable Design?
USGBC & LEED
What is the LEED Rating System?
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
Voluntary third-party rating system
Earn Credit Points for green building criteria
MEASURES success in meeting Sustainable goals
Holistic Integrated Design Approach to Building Design, Construction, and Operation
Quality Control Process for all Projects
LEED Rating Systems
LEED System Goals
Reduce contribution to global climate change
Enhance individual human health
Protect and restore water resources
Protect and enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services
Promote sustainable and regenerative material cycles
Build a green economy
Enhance community quality of life
