LEED Rating System

• LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design)• A program that provides third-party verification of green buildings. • Projects satisfy prerequisites and earn points to achieve certification.• Requirements differ for each rating system.• Implemented by U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a non-profit

dedicated to “changing the way buildings and communities are designed, built and operated.”

LEED Options for Higher Ed

Rating System LEED for Schools New Construction Existing Buildings

2009 Version of Schools Focused on K-12

Description Originally developed to address the design and construction of K-12 schools.

Based on LEED for New Construction, with key additions:

• classroom acoustics, • master planning, • mold prevention, • environmental site assessment

and other issues important to these buildings.

LEED for New Construction & Major Renovations takes an integrative approach to producing buildings that are designed to be efficient and have a lower impact on their environment.

Design and construction decisions lay foundation for sustainable operations and maintenance.

Encourages owners of existing buildings to implement sustainable practices and reduce the environmental impacts. Key areas:

• exterior site maintenance• water and energy use• environmentally preferred

products & practices for cleaning• sustainable purchasing policies• waste stream management• ongoing indoor environmental

Lighting for LEED

High performance lighting solutions deliver:

the right kind of light, the right amount of light,

exactly where you need it,and only when you need it,and only when you need it,

at the lowest total lifecycle cost.

LEED and Lighting: Key Themes

• There are no LEED-certified lighting fixtures• Lighting is just one component of the overall projectg g j p p j

1. Optimize Energy Usage

2. Control Lighting 3. Indoor Lighting Quality

4. Reduce Light Pollution

5. Minimize Mercury

• Use highlyefficacious light sources (i.e., LED)

• Earn more points for less energy use

• # of points varies by system

• Control of light levels by occupants at individual work stations

• Control of lighting at common areas

• V4: Point now available for lighting quality in IEQ section

• Reduce light trespass onto neighboringproperties,

• Improve nighttime visibility through glare reduction,

• Reduce sky-glow

• Specify LED light sources

• Specify low mercury fluorescent lamps

• V4: Lighting no longer exempt

#1. Optimize Energy Usage

Use LED SourcesOther Benefits:• Communication with fixture

Obvious Benefits• Consumes less energy (> 50%)

(wired or wireless)• Remote monitoring and control• New form factors

gy ( )• Long-life (80,000+ hours)• Dimmability• Lower temperature• Color-control• Instant start• No mercury

#3. Focus on Lighting Quality

One Point Available for Lighting Quality• Choose four of the following strategies (summarized).

1. Avoid high angle glare2. Use light sources with a CRI of 80 or higher. 3. Use long-life sources (> 24,000 hour for fluorescent; > 70,000 for LED)4. Minimize direct-only overhead lighting5. High reflectance ceilings; mid reflectance for walls; low reflectance floors6. Consider reflectance of furniture and work surfaces7. Manage contrast ratios between walls and work plane8. Manage contrast ratios between ceilings and work planeg g p

• Refer to IESNA (www.iesna.org) for details• Require designer/engineer to document compliance to standards

#3. Focus on Lighting Quality

#4. Reduce Light Pollution

• Reduce light trespass onto neighboring properties,• Improve nighttime visibility through glare reduction, p g y g g ,• Reduce sky-glow

#4. Reduce Light Pollution

Insist on Precise Optical Control• Light only those areas that need to be lighted.• Minimize site lighting with a purposeful approachg g p p pp• Consider full cutoff fixtures, low-reflectance surfaces and low-angle

directional outdoor lighting
