There are three options for complying with this credit, and in each case completing a transportation survey is the first step.

CWM Planning Prerequisite Eliminated

Although LEED v4.1 included this prerequisite when it was released, addenda issued on November 9, 2020 deleted this prerequisite. Projects are held to the rating system requirements at the time of registration. This means that any project registered prior to this change will need to submit a construction waste management plan.  Note that although the prerequisite was eliminated, project teams still have to create a CWM plan and reporting process (see below for more details).

This credit rewards projects that implement the construction and demolition waste management (CWM) plan developed in the corresponding Construction and Demolition Waste Management Planning prerequisite. Project teams have two options for credit achievement—either diverting waste from the landfill or reducing overall waste generated.

Is your building clean? If so, this credit, which requires you to score the cleanliness of your building based on a visual assessment, could be easy to achieve.

Measuring building data and generating a Performance Score in the LEEDon platform (which is used for the LEED Dynamic Plaque) will demonstrate the results of best practices and serve as an alternative path to compliance with two LEED prerequisites and sixteen LEED credits in the LEED v4 Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance (LEED v4 O+M) rating system.
