1.3 DESCRIPTION

This project has been designed for, and shall be developed for a sustainable rating of Platinum in accordance with LEED Version 2009. LEED Scorecard (hereinafter referenced as "Table 1") identifies the LEED credit items that are designed into or otherwise required for this project.

Credits identified as "Yes" shall be pursued by the contractor and all credits identified as a "Likely" or Unlikely" shall be pursued and monitored by the Contractor. No variations or substitutions to the LEED credits identified for this contract shall be allowed without written consent from the Contracting Officer. Should there be a case where there is any problem meeting the full requirements of a LEED credit identified for this project in Table 1, the Contractor must bring this to the attention of the Contracting Officer immediately.

1.3.1 Credit Validation

This project will be registered with USGBC for validation of credits earned. Contractor is not responsible for registering the project with USGBC or for paying project registration fees to USGBC. Format and content of all construction documentation must be in accordance with the LEED Reference Guide requirements for supporting data required in event of USGBC audit of the particular credit. Contractor is required to coordinate through the Contracting Officer with the Government and the Government's LEED consultant on assuring assembled data is acceptable to USGBC and responding to USGBC requests for clarifications in the course of seeking project certification. Design documentation will be provided by others.

1.3.2 Contractor Responsibilities

Some LEED credits are inherent in the design provided and require no further submittal or documentation. For these credits, the Contractor notify the Contracting Officer in advance of selection of any specified material or use of any permissible construction methods that may result in a deviation from the LEED designer intent. Some LEED credits involve material selection and are generally identified within the technical sections with the notation "LEED," though not specifically identified in all occurrences. Some LEED credits are dependent on construction practices.

All LEED credits identified in Table 1 not inherent in the design provided shall be documented by the Contractor. Table 1 provides a general summary of applicable credits. Detailed submittal requirements are contained in the LEED Reference Guide and in the individual technical Sections.

Compiling of documentation at LEED Online and use of the LEED Letter Templates is required. Contractor is responsible for all construction phase documentation, application fees, and submittal to the GBCI of all construction phase templates and supporting documentation uploads through LEED Online. Contractor is responsible for providing any clarifications or

SECTION 01 33 29 Page 2 resubmittals required by the GBCI LEED reviewer. All project documentation related to LEED shall conform to USGBC requirements for both content and format, including audit requirements. In all cases where a material, product, or execution requirement is identified by "LEED" in the Contract Documents, additional data or certificates shall be submitted with the individual component or process validating the material or component to the respective LEED credit item. These additional data or certificates shall be separable from the other submitted data and a copy shall be included in the LEED Documentation Notebook in addition to the distribution indicated in the Submittal Register. All such cases shall include a completed LEED Submittal Form which is attached at the end of this Section.

The LEED Submittal Tracking Log shall be used for tracking LEED credits and updated throughout project. The LEED Submittal Tracking Log has been provided at the end of this Section and an electronic version will be provided to the Contractor.

d. List of all plans required in the individual technical Sections for LEED credit. Proposed submittal date for each plan. These shall be added to the LEED Implementation Plan as they are completed.

e. Implementation plan for cumulative materials credits, which shall include proposed materials, associated estimated costs, and details necessary for LEED Calculations added in order to determine if the listed materials can be expected to achieve the project goal. Submit cumulative materials implementation plans before materials purchasing begins.

The Contractor shall comply with one of the following requirements:

1.7.2.1 Pre-Occupancy Flush-Out

After construction ends, prior to occupancy and with all interior finishes installed, perform a building flush-out by supplying a total volume of 14000 cu. ft. of outdoor air per sq. ft. (sq. m) of floor area while maintaining an internal temperature of at least 60 deg F and a relative humidity no higher than 60 percent.

1.7.2.2 Flush-Out During Early Occupancy

If occupancy is desired prior to flush-out completion, the space may be occupied following delivery of a minimum of 3500 cu. ft. of outdoor air per

sq. ft. (sq. m) of floor area to the space. Once a space is occupied, it shall be ventilated at a minimum rate of 0.30 cfm per sq. ft. of outside air or the design minimum outside air rate determined in EQ Prerequisite 1, whichever is greater. During each day of the flush-out period, ventilation shall begin a minimum of three hours prior to occupancy and continue during occupancy. These conditions shall be maintained until a total of 14000 cu.

ft./sq. ft. of outside air has been delivered to the space.

1.7.2.3 Air-Quality Testing

a. Conduct baseline indoor-air-quality testing, after construction ends and prior to occupancy, using testing protocols consistent with the EPA's "Compendium of Methods for the Determination of Air Pollutants in Indoor Air," and as additionally detailed in the USGBC's "LEED-NC:

Reference Guide."

b. Demonstrate that the contaminant maximum concentrations listed below are not exceeded:

(1) Formaldehyde: 50 ppb.

(2) Particulates (PM10): 50 micrograms/cu. m.

(3) Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC): 500 micrograms/cu. m.

(4) 4-Phenylcyclohexene (4-PH): 6.5 micrograms/cu. m.

(5) Carbon Monoxide: 9 ppm and no greater than 2 ppm above outdoor levels.

c. For each sampling point where the maximum concentration limits are exceeded, conduct additional flush-out with outside air and retest the specific parameter(s) exceeded to indicate the requirements are achieved. Repeat procedure until all requirements have been met. When retesting noncomplying building areas, take samples from same locations as in the first test.

d. Air-sample testing shall be conducted as follows:

(1) All measurements shall be conducted prior to occupancy but during normal occupied hours, and with building ventilation system starting at the normal daily start time and operated at the minimum outside air

SECTION 01 33 29 Page 13 flow rate for the occupied mode throughout the duration of the air testing.

(2) Building shall have all interior finishes installed including, but not limited to, millwork, doors, paint, carpet, and acoustic tiles.

Nonfixed furnishings such as workstations and partitions are encouraged, but not required, to be in place for the testing.

(3) Number of sampling locations will vary depending on the size of building and number of ventilation systems. For each portion of building served by a separate ventilation system, the number of sampling points shall not be less than one per 25,000 sq. ft. or for each contiguous floor area, whichever is larger, and shall include areas with the least ventilation and greatest presumed source strength.

(4) Air samples shall be collected between 3 and 6 feet from the floor to represent the breathing zone of occupants, and over a minimum four-hour period.
