Anaïs, you should include ESC measures during construction and demolition. Demolition is basically a kind of construction activity, and is definitely part of the impact of a project on its surrounding environment.

Thank you Tristan for your answer.
If the owner of the project decided to initiate the LEED certification after the completion of demolition but before the construction works, is it possible to proove than ESC measures have been implemented during demolition works with pictures of the measures without wiriting the ESC plan?

This is a pretty common situation. Yes, simply do your best to demonstrate in good faith that ESC mesaures were undertaken, while acknowledging that an ESC plan was not in place at that time. I haven't heard of a case like this being rejected.
