BSD SpecLink-E supports the following Green Building Rating Systems:
• LEED v4 BD+C:
– New Construction and Major Renovations
– Core and Shell Development
– Schools, Healthcare
– Data Centers
– Warehouses and Distribution Centers
– Hospitality, Retail
Rating Systems Supported
Get Started Early
• Achieving a sustainable design certification
will depend heavily on early design
decisions, including site selection
• Waiting until the construction documents
phase to begin making green decisions
may make achieving certification difficult or
impossible
Sustainable Design Criteria
• Designing for sustainability can’t be delegated to a Design-Bid-Build Contractor
• A Design-Builder can be given a target rating with as little or as much direction as desired
• BSD SpecLink-E includes sustainable design criteria in Section DC0 Facility Design Criteria, which can be used for both Design-Build projects and early design documentation on Design-Bid-Build projects
Specifying Strategy Types of Issues
• No matter which rating system is used, all
issues fall into one of these categories:
– Intrinsic to Location
– Design Phase Activity
– Post-Construction Activity
– Embodied in Overall Design
– Explicitly Shown In Contract Documents
Specifying Strategy Intrinsic to Location
• The specification cannot address issues
that are completely dependent on site
location:
– Avoidance of sensitive lands
– Brownfield site
– Surrounding density and diverse uses
– Availability of alternative transportation
Specifying Strategy Design Phase Activities
• The specification cannot address:
– Project planning
– Design process
– Site environmental assessment
– School campus master plan
– Life cycle analysis of design
Specifying Strategy Post-Construction Issues
• The specification cannot address:
– Purchasing Green Power
– Provisions for Recycling
– Prohibition of Smoking
– Operational Issues: cleaning, pest control
– Joint use of facilities
– Tenant guidelines
Specifying Stategy Issues Embodied in the Design
• No particular, immediately identifiable
specification solution:
– Parking capacity, reduced parking footprint
– Design for water and energy conservation
– Optimization of energy performance
– Ventilation design
– Design for flexibility
Specifying Strategy Solutions in Contract Documents
• For each issue, determine where it should
be shown or specified:
– Only shown on the drawings
– Only indicated in the specifications
– Partly shown and partly specified
• Now you know what needs to be included
in the specifications
– 01 5713 - Temporary Erosion & Sediment Control
– 01 5721 - Indoor Air Quality Controls
– 01 7000 - Execution and Closeout Requirements (site

Specifying for LEED
As of May 2014, BSD SpecLink-E supports the following LEED Rating Systems:
LEED v4 BD+C:
– New Construction and Major Renovations
– Core and Shell Development
– Schools, Healthcare
– Data Centers
– Warehouses and Distribution Centers
– Hospitality, Retail
Specifying for LEED
Review the rating system document to
classify prerequisites and credits into
categories
– Intrinsic to Location
– Design Phase Activity
– Post-Construction Activity
– Embodied in Overall Design
– Shown on the Drawings
– To Be Specified
Specifying for LEED
Identify the Goal
– Certified: 40 points
– Silver: 50 points
– Gold: 60 points
– Platinum: 80 points
– Plus regional priority credits possible
And the Facility Type
– New Construction, Schools, Healthcare, etc.
Specifying for LEED
Decide whether to pursue:
– Building Material Disclosure Credits
– Building Material Optimization Credits
– Low-Emitting Materials Credits
• Make appropriate selections in 01 3329
• If pursuing any of them, include:
– Section 01 3329.04 – Material Content Form
Specifying for LEED
Disclosures, like EPDs
The Material Content
Form is automatically
tailored to the types of
credits being pursued
Content types, such
as recycled, certified
wood, VOCs
Cost information,
for performing the
calculations
Specifying for LEED
Low-Emitting Materials Credits:
• Very possible to write an impossible spec
– The thresholds are very high (90-100%)
– The indoor-emissions test is relatively new
– But this credit is divided into 5 categories of
products that can be pursued separately as long
as at least 2 categories are achieved (3 for
Schools, Healthcare)
• Edit Section 01 6116 – VOC Content
Restrictions, to suit your decisions
Specifying for LEED If desired, use the
Prohibited Content
Installer Certification form
reduce the likelihood that
installers ignore the low-
emitting material
specifications
Assertions that they did
not use any products
with prohibited content,
whether specified or not
Certification signature
Instructions
Coming Soon
In the coming months, the following
