Run final acoustic calculations for the project and verify that goals are met.

All Cases

Fill out the LEED Online credit form and upload water fixture cut sheets to LEED Online.

If reusing graywater or rainwater, ensure that key system components such as treatment and cisterns are not removed during value engineering.

Specify signage for water strategies that may require special instructions for use. This may include occupant signage for operating dual-flush toilets, indicating non-potable water, and operational signage for distinguishing pipes carrying reused water.

Integrate efficient water fixture specifications into construction and design development documentation.

Include columns as obstructions when calculating the access to views in open floor plans.

For Core and Shell buildings, project teams must use a feasible tenant layout and plan to demonstrate that it meets the credit requirements. A consistent and appropriate occupancy must be used across credits.

Private offices where more than 75% of the floor area has a direct-line-of-sight to views can include the entire square footage in the calculations.

Total the areas of regularly occupied spaces that have both direct-line-of-sight to perimeter glazing and access to views while seated (at 42”). Divide this value by the total area of regularly occupied spaces to confirm if the design provides greater than 90% of occupied areas with access to views. This is done in the LEED credit form.
