1.2 PURPOSE

A. This section outlines US Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and

Environmental Design (LEED) prerequisites and credits needed for the Walker Ranger District

Office to obtain LEED certification based on LEED 2009 for New Construction and Major

Renovations (LEED3NC) Rating System, Version 3.

B. LEED Certification requirements are limited to the project area within the LEED Project

Boundary. The area outside of the LEED Project Boundary is excluded from LEED requirements, and therefore must be tracked separately.

C. This section does not include specific work requirements and is included for Contractor's information only. See Section 01 35 15 3 LEED Certification Procedures, for Contractor's responsibilities.

D. LEED Design Phase credits and prerequisites are included in this summary for reference only.

At the time of construction, these credits will have been reviewed by the Green Building

Certification Institute (GBCI) for LEED compliance. It is the Contractor's responsibility to adhere to the documentation and product selections associated with LEED Credits and Prerequisites that have obtained approval by GBCI.

E. Contractor is responsible for any required LEED Design Phase Resubmittals due to deviations from the approved documentation and product selections associated with LEED Credits and

Prerequisites that have obtained approval by GBCI.

F. The LEED Check List has been provided at the end of this Section for reference only.

Sections

1.4 DEFINITIONS

A. LEED Rating System: LEED 2009 for New Construction and Major Renovations

B. LEED Credit: LEED Rating System component. Compliance with LEED Credits is optional within the LEED Rating System and meeting credit criteria results in the earning of points toward certification. The design team has preselected LEED credits for the project that the Contractor is expected to adhere to in order to achieve the desired level of LEED certification for the LEED portion of this project.

C. LEED Design Phase Review: The first phase of the split LEED review process that enables project teams to assess the likelihood of achievement for some or all design3phase credits and/or prerequisites, prior to substantial project completion. All remaining requirements are then submitted with the Construction Application.

D. LEED Construction Phase Review: The second phase of the split LEED review process that must occur after the project team has accepted the results of the Design Review as final. It includes payment of the Construction Review fee; confirmation that the construction process has not affected the project's eligibility for all previously reviewed design phase prerequisites and credits; includes completed documentation for all prerequisites and at least the minimum number of credits required to achieve certification; and includes completed general project information forms.

E. LEED Prerequisite: A required LEED Green Building Rating System component whose achievement is mandatory and does not earn any points. Failure to achieve any one of the

LEED Prerequisites will result in failure to achieve LEED certification.

F. LEED Project Boundary: The LEED project boundary is the portion of the project site submitted for LEED certification. For single building developments, this is the entire project scope and is generally limited to the site boundary. For multiple building developments, the LEED project boundary may be a portion of the development as determined by the project team.

G. Required: Achievement of this credit is essential for certification of this project.

H. Preferred: Achievement of this credit would be desirable but is not mandatory.

I. Not Required: Achievement of this credit is not expected or not possible for this project.

J. To Be Provided: Provided via one or more construction contracts.
