You can sumup the points for other credits and check it At this point I want to answer one of the frequently asked questions, Is it required remember all these numbers. My answer – Not necessary. Don’t try to memorize these numbers. Wherever numbers are required to remember we will cover them through example calculations and practice questions. Another Question, What are these credit numbers we don’t find them in Reference Manual. Yes LEED reference manual does not give credit numbers. We use it for easy reference LT refers to Location and Transportation, C refers to Credit and P refers to Prerequsite. In LT there is no prerequsite © 2015 Green Building Academy.

Location & Transportation overview Location of site Transportation from and to site Objective Reduce the environmental impact associated with site selection Reduce the environmental impact associated with transportation Increase physical activity and Promote healthy lifestyle. The credits in Location and Transportation are related to location of the site and how occupants travel from and to the site. The overall objective of this category is to reduce the environmental impact associated with site selection, reduce the environmental impact associated with transportation and to increase physical activity and promote healthy life stye © 2015 Green Building Academy.

LT C2 Sensitive Land Protection
Design Let us now discuss each credit in detail. For a better understanding first we are going to discuss LT Credit 2 to 8 and then we will go to Credit 1. LT Credit Sensitive Land Protection, It is a design credit ie the credit can be documented along with the design submission. CS Projects can upto 2 points and other projects can earn 1 point in this credit. It is worth noting that all Location and Transportation Credits are design credits NC CS Sc Rt Hc Hs DC WD 1 2 © 2015 Green Building Academy. All rights reserved.

Requirements: Left intentionally blank to draw and explain the 2 options of this credit. There are two options to achieve this credit the first and the best option to locate the entire development foot print on previously developed site. Development Foot print is the building footprint + all associated hardscapes like parking, roadways and other services.

ND & Building Certification time line
Certification stage What Should be completed LEED ND Plan Certification- Design of buildings are not completed Buildings must me registered before application of ND Plan LEED ND Plan Certification- Design of buildings are substantially completed Buildings design review must be completed prior to the application LEED ND Certification Both review should be in same time line. Certification of Buildings and ND should be coordinated as ND projects are awarded points based on number of buildings certified within neighborhood and Buildings are awarded projects if the neighborhood is certified © 2015 Green Building Academy.
