Goal 1: Reduce Energy Use
- Measure: Energy Use Intensity (EUI)
- Targets:
- minimally acceptable value: 80% reduction in EUI compared to baseline (ASHRAE Standard 90.1/Zero Code)
- desired / target value: 90%+ reduction in EUI compared to baseline
- Strategies:
- Passive solar design
- Maximize daylighting
- Use smart energy metering and monitoring infrastructure
Goal 2: Reduce Water Use
- Measure: LEED WE Indoor Water Use Reduction Credit
- Targets:
- minimally acceptable value: 2 points (30% reduction from baseline)
- desired / target value: 6 points (50%+ reduction from baseline)
- Strategies:
- Install water-saving fixtures
- Collect and reuse rainwater and wastewater (rainwater capture, greywater capture, wastewater treating...)
- low water / natural vegetation
Goal 3: Use Sustainable/Reused Materials (Secondary Goal)
- Measure: LEED MR Credit: Building Life-Cycle Impact Reduction (volume of building material)
- Targets:
- minimally acceptable value: 3 points (50% completed project surface area reused)
- desired / target value: 4 points (75%+ completed project surface area reused)
- Strategies:
- Build on a previously developed project, if possible
- Minimize use of concrete
- different mix of concrete - sustainable concrete?
- Use recycled metal and glass
- recycled wood floor, interior walls, etc/ structural, envelope, interior, ...
Goal 4: Restore and Create Natural, Pleasing Spaces and Views
- Measure: LEED SS Credit: Site Development—Protect or Restore Habitat and Open Space
- Targets:
- minimally acceptable value: 1-2 points (restore or provide 30%+ of site area as outdoor space with native vegetation)
- desired / target value: 3 points (preserve and protect 40%+ of the site’s greenfield area from development AND restore/provide 30%+ of site area as outdoor space with native vegetation)
- Strategies:
- Preserve natural vegetated areas around the project site
- Create rooftop gardens
- Create indoor green spaces
