Construction Documents

Include specifications for the building monitoring system. 

You might want to defer documenting this credit until the construction submittal to confirm the appropriate system installation and inclusion of the required O&M information.

Make sure that contractor-related LEED documentation requirements and activities are in the specifications so that they are accounted for in estimates and bids.

Include LEED references in the drawings and specifications where appropriate. 

Provide LEED documentation requirements in the specifications, including the LEED requirements for information contained in O&M manuals and designating the contractor as the signatory for this credit. 

Include ASHRAE-55 related performance requirements in the construction specifications.

Complete all required LEED documentation and upload to LEED Online:

Confirm required calculations based on the finalized design by using a PMV/PPD calculation, the ASHRAE comfort tool, or psychrometric zone chart. 

Provide clear construction drawings, specifications, commissioning reports and operations manuals so that operations staff can refer to them during building operations.

Developing a checklist for weekly mold prevention activities during construction and related to-do’s is a convenient way to stay on top of required tasks. This list can be used at weekly meetings as well as posted around the site.
