Task: selection of certification program <br />The Project Team is proposing analysis of two options to help inform selection of a <br />third-party rating system that will guide the community to achieving ambitious <br />sustainability goals. <br />LHB will review the feasibility of achieving points in “LEED for Communities: Plan and <br />Design” and “LEED for Neighborhood Development: Plan,” and will assist the JDA in <br />identifying next steps toward certification. <br />A decision on the certification system will help inform the methodology used to <br />establish the GHG baseline. <br />Documentation toward LEED certification is outside the timeline and budget of this <br />project. <br />Rating System Evaluation Process <br />LEED Cities and Communities: Plan <br />and Design <br />•For use in planning stage of a new <br />community <br />•Data-driven, comprehensive system <br />addressing natural systems, transportation, <br />water, energy, GHG reduction, materials, <br />resources, quality of life <br />LEED for Neighborhood <br />Development <br />•For use in planning stage of a new <br />neighborhood <br />•Focus on site selection, sustainable <br />neighborhood design, green <br />infrastructure/buildings <br />LEED for Building Design and <br />Construction (BD+C) <br />•For use during building design and <br />construction of a new building, certified <br />post-occupancy <br />•Versions for specific buildings types such as <br />residential, retail, warehouses are available <br />DOE Zero Energy Ready Home <br />Program <br />•For use during design and construction of <br />residential buildings, certified post- <br />occupancy <br />•Focus on energy and GHG emissions <br />reduction <br />LEED Campus <br />•Note that this is an approach to certification, <br />not a rating system <br />•Used to certify multiple buildings on a single <br />site that are pursuing LEED commercial rating <br />systems <br />Rating System Options <br />39
