LEED v4 LEED v4 available fall 2013, pending successful balloting


Stated goals of v4 MORE DIFFICULT 78% of the points are harder than LEED 2009


Stated goals of v4 MORE PERFORMANCE-BASED They’re not giving credit for just planning to do something anymore.


Stated goals of v4

GREATER TRANSPARENCY Manufacturers should disclose environmental impacts and toxic chemicals in materials.


Stated goals of v4 SHIFT TOWARD LIFECYCLE PERSPECTIVE


Stated goals of v4 MEASURING COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS


Stated goals of v4

REDUCED DOCUMENTATION


Overview Virtually every credit has changed.


Overview There have been 6 public comment periods.

The first one started in Nov. 2010!


Properly Vetted?


Kirksey Case Study Comparing performance of a suburban office building under LEED 2009 vs. v4


Case Study Conclusions • A suburban LEED 2009 Gold office building is likely to be equivalent to LEED v4 Certified. • It will lose about 18 points. • It will also cost about 0.3% more in construction cost and LEED-related soft costs will be 1.7x higher


Case Study Conclusions What about getting Gold in v4? • It will add ~ 1% to construction cost • LEED-related soft costs will be 2.6x higher.


Caveats • Our figures are rough estimates! • Every project is slightly different– AND every rating system is slightly different. • v4 is so different from 2009 that exact 1 to 1 comparison is impossible


Today’s focus:


INTEGRATIVE PROCESS


Integrative Process INTEGRATIVE PROCESS

No current equivalent in LEED 2009.

Credit language: During Schematic Design, analyze at least 2 strategies for many building conditions including • Massing & orientation • Envelope Attributes (shading, glazing) • Lighting – assess interior surface reflectance values and lighting levels in occupied spaces • Plug and Process Loads • Water demand (process, indoor, outdoor, etc.)

Site Assessment Revised Lighting Zones Lighting zones determined by: IES and International Dark Sky Association Model Lighting Ordinance (MLO) User Guide


Site Assessment Two Compliance Paths Based on those lighting zones, determine compliance using ether‌ Option 1: backlight-uplight-glare (BUG) method Option 2: calculation method


Site Assessment Option 1: BUG Method


Site Assessment Option 1: BUG Method If less than 2x mounting height to property line, backlight must face property line


Site Assessment Option 1: BUG Method Lighting boundary can be moved 5 feet beyond property boundary into certain public areas (plazas, parking lots, walkways)


Site Assessment Option 1: BUG Method Lighting boundary can be moved to the midpoint of adjacent roadways


Site Assessment Option 1: BUG Method No lighting boundary necessary for adjacent properties with same owner and lighting zone


Site Assessment Option 2: Calculation Method Do not exceed prescribed amounts of total lumens emitted above horizontal and vertical illuminances at the lighting boundary
