Evolution of LEED: Insights into Rating System Updates: Weightings, Part 1: Process and Methods

Would you rather “do less harm”, or “do more good”? This fundamental question is the basis of LEED’s evolution. In LEED 2009, credit weightings were based on the EPA’s TRACI list to minimize negative environmental impacts. As LEED evolves, we flip the approach on its head by aligning credits directly with positive global outcomes. In the first of this two-part webinar, learn the process behind how key priorities drive current and future development of LEED. Impact categories, prioritization, credit weightings, and point allocation will all be discussed in depth. Upon completion of this webinar session, attendees will be able to summarize how LEED points are given different allocations and how those allocations evolve with LEED.

Session Objectives

Describe impact categories, prioritization, credit weightings and point allocation in LEED

Explain the rationale behind key priorities driving current and future LEED development

Understand lessons learned from the process, examining system sensitivity, scorecard diagnostics.

Explain how the weightings process will drive LEED technical development for LEED 2012 and beyond.

PRACT 250: Integrative Process: Closing the Gaps between Design, Construction, Operations & Maintenance

Fundamental decisions made by building design and construction teams have long-term impacts on building performance measures controlled by building operations teams. The disconnect between these two teams during the two distinct phases of a building’s lifecycle can be avoided through integration of O+M teams in the BD+C process. Early engagement of O+M team members secures buy-in on decisions. An opportunity is presented for better design and construction informed by those who are ‘stuck with’ these decisions later in the daily building operations. This transforms O+M staff into green advocates, rather than adversaries and can present unique holistic strategy and even budgetary solutions for greener buildings. Design and construction teams also have the opportunity to learn how their decisions have long-term impacts, thus applying that knowledge to future building projects. Addresses the multiple levels of education needed for various stakeholders in order to inform the BD+C process through a deeper understanding of LEED EB: O+M and increase the gap between the two phases of a building’s life cycle.

Session Objectives

Identify the gaps between design, construction, and operations and maintenance

Create the business case for integrating operations considerations into design and construction

Identify project team decisions that impact optimal operations

Increase interaction between the teams responsible for the distinct phases of a building’s lifecycle

The Greenest Building: Quantifying the Environmental Value of Building Reuse

We’ve heard that the greenest building is one that you don’t have to build. A new report by the National Trust for Historic Preservation finds that it can take 10-80 years for a new, energy-efficient building to overcome the negative climate change impacts that were created during the construction process. Where are the intersections with LEED for Existing Building? How does this fit into LEED 2012? Join the conversation on preservation and regeneration when the National Trust and USGBC discuss “The Greenest Building: Quantifying the Environmental Value of Building Reuse”.

Compare environmental impacts of new versus existing buildings

Identify quantifiable benefits of reuse compared to new construction

Identify how LEED recognizes the value of building reuse

Describe the role of life cycle analysis as methodology for determine value of building reuse

Identify barriers to reuse and solutions

Describe impact of materials choices in determining building reuse value and benefits
