Construction Documents

Assess your compliance with the credit and projected points to be earned. This credit and option can be the largest contributor to your LEED point total, so if you aren’t hitting your goal, consider last minute design changes now. 

Finalize the design, including all energy system strategies. Make sure your project is on track for the target rating based on energy cost. 

If providing alternative-fueling stations, make sure the construction documents include all required specs.  

Indicate the locations of all preferred parking spaces and drop-off areas on site plans, along with requirements for signage. 

Indicate the locations of all preferred parking spaces on site plans, along with requirements for signage. 

Finalize the carpooling program details and infrastructure, including any literature, employee brochures, newsletters and other materials that inform building occupants about the carpooling program and its benefits (either access to preferred parking or discounted parking rates). 

Mark your parking areas, and any carpool drop-off areas, in the parking layout drawings. Preferred parking spaces must be clearly designated, for example with a sign that states, “Carpool and vanpool parking only.”

Ensure that preferred parking spaces are included in your total parking count and on construction documents. 

If pursuing an option that makes provisions for carpools, design your facility to include transportation amenities for a carpooling program such as appropriate drop-off areas, preferred parking for carpools and vanpools, and space to post ride-share program and other relevant information. 

Require measures for deconstruction in the CWM plan.
