Presented by H. Jay Enck
Some Buildings Not Living Up to Green Label
CHANGE
New Construction projects registered
after June 26, 2007 are required to meet
a mandatory minimum of two points
(14% New/7% Existing) in order to
achieve certification.
LEED 2009 begins to assess project
performance compliance with LEED
Green Building Rating System
requirements.
Project owners authorize GBCI to
access and review their projects
Energy and Water Usage Data for
minimum 5 years after occupancy.
ISSUE
Why buildings are not living up to
promise
Energy model and water usage predictions
Incorrect installation/programming
Operator error
No feedback loop to owner and operational
team

USGBC VISION 2009-2013

Buildings and communities will


regenerate and sustain the health and
vitality of all life within a generation.
USGBC MISSION 2009-2013

To transform the way buildings and


communities are designed, built and
operated, enabling an environmentally
and socially responsible, healthy, and
prosperous environment that improves
the quality of life.
LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN
Internationally recognized green
building certification system
Created a paradigm market shift to
sustainable principles
Increased awareness of building
commissioning
Made minimum commissioning
requirements a prerequisite for LEED
Certification
LEED 2012 PUBLIC REVIEWS
January 19th 2011 - First Public Review
5000 comments received
USGBC Staff consolidates comments
Send comments to credit guardians for
consideration
Guardians revise credit requirements as
appropriate
LEED 2012 revision finalized
Recommendations go through technical
committee to steering committee
Steering committee tweaks language and
finalizes rating system for executive
committee to approve
July 2011 Second Public Review
CHANGE IN LEED 2012

LEED 2012 currently includes an annual


report card for all LEED-certified
buildings
Statement of their energy consumption
Those that meet energy-saving marks will
get an updated plaque for that year
Those that dont wont get their plaques
revoked
People will start to understand that a 2002
plaque would mean something a lot
different from a 2010 plaque

Combined Heat, Air, And Moisture Transfer
Consequences of combined heat, air, and moisture
transfer can be detrimental to a buildings thermal
performance, occupant comfort, and indoor air
quality.
High moisture levels in building materials may also
have a negative effect on the thermal performance
of the building envelope.
It is advisable to analyze the combined heat, air,
and moisture transfer through building assemblies.
