LEED Green Building Program Version 1.1

2 LEED Green Building Program  LEED = The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design  “Aims to improve occupant well-being, environmental performance and economic returns of buildings”  A rating system  Projects earn one or more points toward certification by meeting or exceeding each credit’s technical requirements.  Points add up to a final score  Score relates to one of four possible levels of certification

3 Sustainable Sites – 14 pts. –Heat Island Effect Water Efficiency – 5 pts. Energy & Atmosphere – 17 pts. –Optimize Energy Performance Up to 10 points Materials & Resources – 13 pts. - Points from Metal Buildings Indoor Environmental Quality – 15 pts. Innovation & Design Process – 5 pts. –LEED Accredited Professional – 1 point LEED Project Checklist Platinum: points Gold: points Silver: points Certified: points

LEED Project Checklist Materials & Resources

10 LEED MR Credit 1.1: Materials Reuse: 5% “Use salvaged, refurbished or reused materials such as the sum of these materials constitutes at least 5%, based on cost, of the total value of materials on the project.” All the steel in ABC buildings can be recycled in the future Qualifies for 1 Point LEED – Materials Reuse

11 LEED MR Credit 1.2: Materials Reuse: 10% “Use salvaged, refurbished or reused materials for an additional 5% beyond MR Credit 3.1 (10% total, based on cost).” All the steel in ABC buildings can be recycled in the future Qualifies for 1 Point LEED – Materials Reuse

12 LEED – MR Credit 4.1: Recycled Content: 10% “Use materials with recycled content such that the sum of post-consumer recycled content plus one- half of the pre-consumer content constitutes at least 10%.” Over 70% of the steel in ABC buildings is manufactured from recycled steel Qualifies for 1 Point LEED – Recycled Content

13 LEED – MR Credit 4.2: Recycled Content: 20% “Use materials with recycled content such that the sum of post-consumer recycled content plus one- half of the pre-consumer content constitutes an additional 10% beyond MR Credit 4.1 (total of 20%) Over 70% of the steel in ABC buildings is manufactured from recycled steel Qualifies for 1 Point LEED – Recycled Content

14 ABC Metal Building Recycled Content

15 LEED – MR Credit 5.1: Regional Materials 10% “Use building materials that have been extracted, harvested or recovered, as well as manufactured, within 500 miles of the project site for a minimum of 10% (based on cost) of the total materials value.” “Mechanical, electrical and plumbing components and specialty items shall not be included in this calculation.” Potentially qualifies for 1 Point depending upon where the project is located. LEED – Regional Materials

16 LEED – MR Credit 5.2: Regional Materials 20% “Use building materials that have been extracted, harvested or recovered, as well as manufactured, within 500 miles of the project site for a minimum of 20% (based on cost) of the total materials value.” “Mechanical, electrical and plumbing components and specialty items shall not be included in this calculation.” Potentially qualifies for 1 Point depending upon where the project is located.
