18 LEED 2009 EB: O&M Align all LEED products ― Points ― Certification Levels ― EB has changed the least Motivation ― Certain things have become ‘standard’ practice ― Drive market transformation

19 LEED 2009 EB: O&M Timing ― Roll out end of April ― Must be on 2009 version after June 27 What Changes ― Total Points Available: goes from 92 to 110 ― Adds Regional category ― Thresholds / Weighting ― Certification Levels What Remains the Same ― Most credit opportunities

20 LEED 2009 EB: O&M 7 Credit Categories ― Sustainable Sites ― Water Efficiency ― Energy & Atmosphere ― Materials & Resources ― Indoor Environmental Quality ― Innovations in Operations ― Regional

21 LEED 2009 EB: O&M 9 Prerequisites ― Potential Deal Breakers Minimum Water Efficiency Minimum Energy Performance –Energy Star Rating > 68 –75% Occupancy Ozone Protection –No CFCs (with a caveat) Outdoor Air Introduction –ASHRAE –OR 10 cfm per person

23 LEED-EB 2008 Point Distribution

24 LEED 2009 EB: O&M - Point Distribution

Certified – 49 points Silver – 59 points Gold – 79 points Platinum points & above Levels of Certification

26 LEED 2009 EB: O&M & Energy Star Energy & Atmosphere Category Based on ENERGY STAR ® Performance ES Rating LEED Points ES Rating LEED Points

27 Lessons Learned LEED-EB – engineering intensive ― Consider LEED-AP / PE Documentation ― Organized, up to date drawings Takes time! Beware of the $/sqft/cert. level pitch Internal resources ― Inversely proportional to consultant fee
