18. Final LEED Credit Matrix
Site
Site selection, density and redevelopment
Alternative transportation
Storm water design
Heat Island effect
Water Efficiency
Water efficient landscaping
Water Use reduction
Energy and Atmosphere
Enhanced commissioning
Optimize Energy Performance
With exception of 4 credits including using a white roof to mitigate the heat island effect ,some water reduction strategies relative to plumbing, and HVAC energy optimization, these first 3 sections of possible LEED credits had nothing to do with the building itself.
10 out of 14 of the credits in the first 3 categories of LEED are non- building related…and were in large part pre-mandated criteria from the Massport Design Guidelines
Items in this category included:
Water saving flow devices
Moisture control measures to prevent microbal contamination
Use advanced energy management systems
Use HVAC economizers
Use energy saving light fixtures
400 Hz power at all gates

19. Final LEED Credit Matrix
Materials and Resources
Recycled content
Local/ regional materials
Indoor Environmental Quality
Construction management plan
Low-emitting materials
Indoor chemical & Pollutant source control
Thermal Comfort
Innovation and Design Process
Exemplary Performance in Recycled Content and Local materials
Locally produced building materials to minimize transportation
Use low volatile organic compound (VOC) containing materials
Minimize use of PVC materials
Provide public art to enhance visual experience
-Super-insulated walls & ceilings to enhance thermal efficiency

20. Logan Sustainable Design: Keys to Success
Federal and State pressure for sustainable design
Pre-Established Airport Design Guidelines and the incorporation of mitigation measures during the EIS process that include sustainable/ green buildings
Proactive Airport : Established business agreement between airport and tenant included LEED Certification requirement.
Other policies that other Airports are instituting:
Evaluating green purchasing guidelines developed by the City of Seattle
Electrical energy conservation investments and training
Recycling programs
Tenant monitoring and training programs
Hazardous materials substitutions
Productivity measurement and training
Negotiated “emissions credits” with local clean air agency
