And thank you, knowing so many LEED Fellows, I have a lot to live up...

DuWayne Baird Principal EA Energy Solutions, LLC LEEDuser Premium Member 15 thumbs up January 14, 2020- 1:45 pm I've been having a lot of good luck with this credit since adopting v4.1.  Greenguard Gold is a good place to start, and all of those certificates can be found on the UL Spot database website.  If the products are from a European firm for example, a lot of times they will be tested for emissions under a similar but different standard, such as GEV.  There's also usually at least one compliant product for every use.  Any specific products you're really struggling with?   Log...

me if there is a better way. It sure would be helpful if LEED or someone else could add in ASHRAE 170 to this calculator. I bet a lot of people would be willing to pay for it (hint, hint). Log...

check out the v4.1 requirements instead- no more ABCDEF- and the glare control considerations have changed a lot. Always recommend switching this credit out. Log in or register to post comments ...

Susan Di Giulio Senior Project Manager Zinner Consultants LEEDuser Basic Member 152 thumbs up October 20, 2022- 1:53 pm Platinum ALWAYS costs more than Gold; how much depends on a lot of factors. I would work with exactly what sustainable charateristics are required by code and then what else the client really wants to focus (ie, spend money) on (water, energy, air quaity, etc.), hold your charette,...

Hello everyone, I have managed to read trough the comments in the forum and from what i have read i understood that the calculation that indicates the amount of water to be managed on site should be taken from the LEED V2009 SSc6.1 Credit.  Meaning even if a project is setting out to achieve LEED V4.0 we use LEED v2009 calculation method: V.=P*Rv*A/12  My question is, do we then also need to prove that the tanks are going to be emptied after each storm, using storm interval of 3 days as LEED v2009 used? There is not a single line in LEED v4.0 guide about Drawdown rate, about emptying tanks before another...
