LEED for Homes Multi-family Home Size Adjuster Calculator
This approach can be used to determine an overall home size adjuster for for multi-family buildings and attached townhomes, but it cannot be used to determine an overall home size adjuster for a complex with multiple multi-family buildings. If a project includes multiple multi-family buildings, each building must have its own home size adjustment. Please insert the # of units in each building, and the average square footage for units with the corresponding bedroom number. For example, if building 1 has three 2-bedroom units that are 1300, 1400, and 1500 square feet, insert "3" in cell G10 and "1400" in cell H10. Please leave zeros or blanks where appropriate. 0-Bedroom Avg. ft2 # of units LEED Building Unit Adjustment LEED Building 0 Overall Average Adjustment LEED Building Unit Adjustment 0 Unit Adjustment 0 Unit Adjustment 0 Unit Adjustment 0 Unit Adjustment 0 1-Bedroom 2 # of units Avg. ft 2-Bedroom 2 # of units Avg. ft 3-Bedroom 2 # of units Avg. ft 4-Bedroom 2 # of units Avg. ft 5-Bedroom 2 # of units Avg. ft Total Units 0

LEED for Homes Durability Guidelines

Introduction: These guidelines are provided as a tool to assist you in evaluating durability risks and implementing durability measures for your LEED Home. You should develop a program and set of durability measures that are specific to your project and location. The strategies listed in the following pages are intended only as guidance and may or may not be appropriate for a given home. This is not an exhaustive list of possibilities, nor is it intended to represent a set of strategies appropriate for any specific project. Additional and/or different strategies may be needed, depending on the home's location, details of construction, and anticipated occupant requirements. An effective durability management program will consider -- among other things -- the important interrelationships among energy, moisture, and air quality, and how those dynamics are addressed in other LEED for Homes credits that you may or may not pursue. Many of the credits in the LEED for Homes Rating System can serve as durability strategies, and may be used in the creation of a durability inspection checklist. If this is done, the home can still receive LEED points for those credits. The Durability Strategies page contains a list of resources you may find helpful for your durability management plan. It includes a list of durability measures that are required or rewarded in other green homebuilding programs.
Durability Evaluation Steps: 1. Collect site- and project-specific data on environmental conditions (outdoor and indoor) and occupancy and enter into the appropriate sections of the Durability Risk Evaluation Form. 2. If you have a quality management plan in place, review documents and records of callbacks, warranty claims, and litigation in order to identify recurring quality problems. 3. Identify issues of particular interest or concern, and include these in the Durability Risk Evaluation Form, which lists major issues for which durability management strategies typically are needed and provides space for others to be added. 4. Characterize the degree of risk (low, moderate, or high) for each of the issues listed. For each moderate and high risk issue, complete steps 5 through 8 below. 5. Ensure that the durability management plan includes a specific design and/or construction strategy. 6. Ensure that the strategy addresses each of the applicable building systems, assemblies, components, and areas, and that it addresses all connections, intersections, and interactions between and among them. 7. Ensure that each strategy is adequately drawn and/or described in the relevant project documents. Durability Inspection Checklist Steps: 1. Prior to construction, create a durability inspection checklist, listing the durability management measures to be incorporated in the home and noting where those measures appear in the project documents (drawings, specifications, scopes of work). Note that the Durability Inspection Checklist Template lists a sample strategy under each heading; these strategies are not intended to be universal, although some may apply to a variety of projects and sites. They are included for illustrative purposes only. 2. Use the durability inspection checklist to confirm that the measures shown in the project documents are incorporated in the home as drawn and/or specified. This should be done through the use of a quality management plan or on-site inspections by the builder team and check-off on the durability inspection checklist.
3. If the project is pursuing optional credit ID 2.3, have the third-party rater verify that the measures are incorporated into the home and complete the checklist.
