Free tools, guides, and presentations from The Green Engineer to help design teams navigate LEED, energy modeling, decarbonization, and high performance building design. Download what you need, and check back as we add more.
The Green Engineer along with Kalin Associates and Suffolk Construction have created resources to help project teams navigate the new LEED rating system. The resources below focus on understanding, specifying, and documenting the LEED v5 Materials credits.
Slides from our Greenbuild session on LEED v5 materials credits. Learn how to use the Common Materials Framework to select multi attribute products, write clear specifications, and help contractors track procurement. Case studies compare LEED v4.1 and v5 results for a school and a fit out, showing where projects gain or lose points. Also includes Division 01 spec language, the updated materials reporting form, and a material label decoder.
Download the LEED v5 Section 018113 – Sustainable Design Requirements spec section. Editable Word format.
Download the LEED v5 Section 017419 – Construction Waste Management and Disposal spec section. Editable Word format.
Download the Product Data Submittal Sustainable Attributes Reporting Form. Track product and material compliance with the Low-Emitting Materials and Building Product Selection and Procurement credits. Includes sustainable attributes such as CDPH v1.2-2017, EPDs, and biobased materials.
Discover the LEED v5 Low-Emitting Materials compliance criteria. Quickly see the 3 Pathways, which certifications are applicable for each material category, what products are included or excluded from a category, and what compliance threshold products in that category will have to meet.
Master the LEED v5 Construction and Demolition (C&D) Waste Diversion requirements. Quickly see the LEED requirements, learn key steps in developing a C&D materials management plan, see tips and recommendations for success, and learn the importance of third-party verified recycling rates.
A quick reference guide to the LEED v5 Building Product Selection and Procurement credit, covering the Common Materials Framework, multi-attribute products, product specification, and tracking products during construction.
