  1. LEED Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

  2. Learning Objectives • A brief history of U.S. Green Building Council and LEED • LEED rating systems & credit categories • Credit categories & DHI products • How wood doors contribute to these credits. • FSC Certification & Chain of Custody • Review

  3. USGBC & LEED • U.S. Green Building Council - founded 1993. Non profit • Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design • Over 18,000 Members, 60,000 LEED APs • Sustainable building design • Healthy, green & profitable • Goal: Influence Top 25% of commercial projects • USGBC.org

  4. LEED Rating Systems • LEED-NC 2.2, 2.1, 2.0 (version) LEED For New Construction (& Major Renovation) • LEED-EB – LEED for Existing Buildings • LEED-CI – LEED for Commercial Interiors • LEED-CS – LEED for Core & Shell • LEED-H – LEED for Homes • LEED for Schools • LEED 2009, Version 3 (April 27, 2009) Know what rating system and version you are working on!!

  5. LEED Point Categories • Sustainable Sites • Water Efficiency • Energy & Atmosphere • Materials & Resources - Doors • Indoor Environmental Quality - Doors • Innovation and Design Process

  6. LEED Training • Know which LEED Rating System, version the project is registered under. • Registration may be very important • Gather all information • Check Division 1 of the specifications, not just Division 8 • LEED Criteria, Division 1 • LEED Scorecard, Division 1 • Product Requirements, Division 8

  7. LEED-NC2.2 Credits • Please ask Sue to do the LEED letter/ spreadsheet. • This will provide accurate math for you up front. • MR 4.1 Recycled Content 10% - V3 = MR4 • MR 4.2 Recycled Content 20% - V3 = MR4 • MR 5.1 Regional Materials 10% - V3 = MR5 • MR 5.2 Regional Materials 20% - V3 = MR5 • MR 6.0 Rapidly Renewable Materials 2.5% • MR 7.0 Certified Wood • EQ 4.4 Composite Wood & Agrifiber Products Note: The building earns the credit points. Products can only contribute to points.

  8. LEED-NC2.2 Credits • MR 4.1 Recycled Content 10% (1 credit) • MR 4.2 Recycled Content 20% (1 credit) • Percentage of recycled content by weight in the product Recycle Content has two categories: • Pre-Consumer (Post Industrial) 50% credit • Post-Consumer 100% credit

  9. LEED-NC2.2 Credits • MR 5.1 Regional Materials Content 10% (1 credit) • MR 5.2 Regional Materials Content 20% (1 credit) • Percentage of regionally extracted, harvestedANDmanufactured content by weight in the product (must be extracted or harvested; and manufactured within 500 miles of job site) Regionally Manufactured: • 500 mile limit from jobsite • Percentage by weight

  10. LEED-NC2.2 Credits • MR 6.0 Rapidly Renewable (1 credit) • 2.5% of total value of all building materials • Based on weight • Must be harvested with 10 years of growth Rapidly Renewable examples: • Bamboo • Agrifiber Door Core: wheat, rice based

  11. LEED-NC2.2 Credits • MR 7.0 Certified Wood (1 credit) • 50% of all wood based materials and products must be certified to come from FSC forests • Based on weight, volume (or cost – LEED) • Mfg. must be 3rd party Chain of Custody Certified • Vendor COC may be required to contribute to this credit • Projects registered prior to April 7, 2008: Manufacturer’s COC • Registered April 7th and later: Manufacturer and “Vendor” COC Certified wood product examples: MDS Advantage with price on FSC • FSC Door Core - stave core, particle core • FSC Wood Veneer – Expensive, limited quality & supply

  12. MR 7.0 Certified Wood • LEED only recognizes wood from forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). • FSC Control Categories: • Illegally harvested wood • Wood harvested in violation of traditional and civil rights • Wood harvested in forests where high conservation values are threatened by management • Wood harvested in forests being converted to plantation or other non-forest use • Wood from forests in which genetically modified trees are planted

  13. MR 7.0 Certified Wood(1 credit) • The percentage of wood in an assembly that is not FSC certified wood must be FSC Controlled Wood • Controlled Wood must also meet the 5 control categories of FSC certified wood, though the forest may not be FSC certified • Exotic species like Anigre, Rosewood, Mahogany, Teak are likely at high risk for being un-controlled wood • Products with an FSC claim cannot contain uncontrolled wood. Call your manufacturer regarding exotic species on projects that want FSC wood!

  14. LEED-NC2.2 Credits • EQ 4.4 Low Emitting Materials - Composite Wood & Agrifiber Products must have no added urea-formaldehyde resins. (1 credit) • All or nothing point category – all composite wood and agrifiber products must have no UF, or no point • Includes plywood, MDF, door core, laminates, engineered crossbands, etc. • Critical point category for point selection

  15. Composite Wood & Agrifiber Components RAIL STILE CROSSBAND CORE STILE VENEER RAIL …and their assembly must have no added urea-formaldehyde resins

  16. SCS Advantage Gold • MDS price advantage • www.SCSCERTIFIED.com • Standard doors qualify for low emitting materials. • Good “Green Friendly” VE option. • If they are going for LEED EQ 4.4 this will not work.

  17. Let manufacturer help with product compliance documentation Use documentation to close work – set the standard Your responsibility is to help with product information, not fill out project paperwork Project paperwork is based on value to owner LEED builds in flexibility to meet point categories and register project LEED Training
