Preliminary Rating Goals. As early as practical and preferably before schematic design, conduct a preliminary LEED meeting with a minimum of four key project team members and the owner or owner’s representative. As part of the meeting, create a LEED® action plan that, at a minimum:
Determines the LEED certification level to pursue (Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum);
Selects the LEED credits to meet the targeted certification level; and
Identifies the responsible parties to ensure the LEED requirements for each prerequisite and selected credit are met.
