FAQs about SSp1 :

How do I know if my local code is more or less stringent than the EPA CGP?

Is there a table that summarizes the changes that were introduced by the 2012 version of the standard, as compared to 2003?

If a project decided to pursue LEED after the completion of demolition but before construction, can we prove ESC measures were implemented through pictures, without having an explicit ESC plan?

CS-v4 SSp1:Construction activity pollution prevention

Noise from construction activities on site

Hi to all,

I was wondering if you have heard of any requirement regarding noise from construction activities on site for LEED compliance?

Is it required to submit any documentation regarding noise during construction? What if it is required as per local regulations, is then required to be documented for LEED compliance?

Thanks

Hi Julio, Noise mitigation is not required as part of the SS prerequisite. If local law requires that you manage it, it may show up on the same inspection reports as you would use for LEED - but the LEED reviewer will not look at it.  There is a pilot credit for exterior noise management (though it focuses on operations, not construction). If you are taking noise management measures, see if you qualify for it as an  Innovation point: https://www.usgbc.org/credits/new-construction-core-and-shell-schools-new-construction-retail-new-construction-20?return=/credits/New%20Construction/v4.1
