Construction

Case 2: Previously Developed Sites

Taking date-stamped pictures of the protected areas at designated times throughout the project helps ensure compliance and provides supporting documentation if there are any questions about your project’s compliance. 

Upload documentation to LEED Online after construction activities have ended. You have two documentation options:

1. The contractor can declare that the requirements have been met by signing credit form, confirming credit compliance. 
2. You can upload construction documents that show your site’s limited disturbance boundaries for credit compliance.

Monitor the site for compliance with the limited site disturbance requirements.

Contain all construction activities away from site disturbance boundaries to minimize damage to natural areas. 

Implement plans for construction staging areas, physical barriers, and regular meetings to ensure continued compliance with site disturbance requirements.

Tenants that work toward LEED-CI certification can benefit from reduced operational costs and better productivity.

Encourage your tenants to attempt LEED-CI certification.

If the tenant guidelines include any requirements on the part of the building owner, be sure to collect any required verification of tenant compliance.
