Get your building LEED Certified!
LEED
is the most widely known and widely used green building certification system in
the world. If a building is LEED certified through a LEED consultant,
the building or the project gets instant recognition at national and
international level. Apart from recognition through LEED certification, there
are some additional advantages. A LEED certified building can get faster lease
up rates and a higher than normal resale value in the market. Along with these
commercial benefits, there are other advantages. The indoor environmental
quality, which is a crucial aspect for the occupants of the building, is also
affected by LEED certification. This includes various aspects like Tobacco
smoke control, CO2 levels, temperature, relative humidity, etc., which are
necessary for a healthy and productive work environment. A thermal comfort
survey form is circulated among the occupants of the building, who fill up the
form, and this form enables us to identify some parameters of the indoor
environmental quality, which should be acceptable by LEED criteria to achieve
certification. LEED certification also helps in lowering the use of energy,
water, and other resources, thus saving the resources, and saving money for the
client. And lastly, LEED certification also helps in enhancing the brand value
of your building in the market and establishes you as a leader in green
building.
A
LEED
project can be completed easily and smoothly with the help of an experience
LEED consultant. The major aspects, which a LEED consultant takes care of are:
· Sustainable Site – A LEED consultant is expected
to guide the client and the project towards preserving the local ecology and
environmentally sensitive development of the site.
· Indoor environmental quality- The LEED consultant
must help to contribute to the comfort and well-being of the occupants of the
building by providing improved indoor environmental quality
· Energy performance of the building- The building
should be designed and detailed in such a manner that the energy consumption of
the building is reduced drastically, which will be achieved through energy
efficient strategies.
· Daylight performance of the building- Through
this aspect of the building, multiple aspects are received, including the
reduction of energy consumption by reducing the use of electric lighting during
the daytime. It also helps to connect the occupants with the outdoors, which
eventually helps reinforce their circadian rhythm.
· Waste generation and management- This aspect is
crucial so as to reduce the harm to the environment through proper disposal of
waste created by construction and by occupants.
· Material and resource management- The LEED
consultant must ensure through this aspect that the materials and resources
used in the building during the construction and occupancy phase do not harm
the environment through their purchase, use, and disposal.
· Water Efficiency- The LEED consultant will help
the project get credits through this aspect by guiding the stakeholders to
decrease the indoor water consumption through low flow fixtures, and other
measures.
