Homes-v4 IPc1:Integrative process

LEED HOMES only new Buidlings?

Can you complete a LEED HOME on an already existing home or does it have to be new construction?

Daniel, Major gut rehab projects can achieve certification under LEED:BD+C Homes or Multifamily Midrise, but partial rehab or renovation projects cannot. To be considered a major rehab project, the home must be stripped to the studs on at least one side of all external walls and the exterior ceiling, to expose the interstitial space for insulation installation and inspection. Note that the draft LEED v4.1 Residential Rating System includes major renovation pathways that provide allowances, particularly for historic renovations, when portions of the exterior might not be able to be replaced or changed.
