STAGE 01 : PROJECT DIFINITION AND GOLAS SETTING

The Architect General Responsibilities The primary role of the architect in a LEED project is to design a building that takes into consideration the climate of the location, has an efficient envelope, and incorporates green materials that make it an inherently efficient building. The architect must collaborate with other team members to make decisions that are beneficial from a whole building perspective. The general responsibilities of the architect are, but not limited to, the following: 1. Work with the LEED PM to schedule green charrettes and goal setting workshops early in the

design process. 2. Ensure all green design features required for compliance with LEED credits are incorporated

in drawings and specifications. 3. Coordinate with consultants, especially the energy simulation expert, to optimize the building

orientation and envelope. 4. Specify green materials and products, which also meet LEED credit requirements. Consult

with green LEED consultant in preparation of specifications. 5. Perform or participate in post-occupancy evaluation of the project. LEED Credit Responsibilities The credits that the architect is responsible for will vary from project to project depending on the responsibilities of the LEED PM. While the final documentation may be done by another team member, the architect’s input is required on a number of credits.

Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) Engineers General Responsibilities The MEP engineering team has a significant role to play because the three prime areas—water, energy, and air quality—that a LEED building addresses require their input. Depending on the level of expertise, the mechanical engineer may also perform energy simulations to optimize the building performance. This section is written with the assumption that an energy simulation expert will be engaged for that purpose. The responsibilities of the energy simulation expert have been described separately in this chapter. The general responsibilities of the MEP engineering team (without energy simulation) are, but not limited to, the following: 1. Work with the energy simulation expert to design building HVAC and lighting systems that are

optimized for the whole building’s energy performance. 2. Work with the architect to ensure that opportunities related to climate, orientation, and

massing are evaluated and implemented to ensure that the building’s mechanical systems are sized appropriately.

3. Provide innovative cost-effective solutions that will make the building’s systems and opera-tions more efficient.

4. Design building systems in accordance with the microclimate of the building. 5. Provide input regarding the system choices based on life-cycle impact and energy use. 6. Coordinate with lighting consultant to develop appropriate lighting layouts and specifications. 7. Design building ventilation systems in accordance with ASHRAE 62.1-2007 and thermal com-

fort parameters in accordance with ASHRAE 55-2004. 8. Ensure that equipment selection, adhesive choices, material selection, and construction

methods reflect LEED goals. 9. Work with the CxA and the contractor to implement commissioning related activities. 10. Engage in measurement and verification studies and building performance monitoring after

occupancy, if required. 11. Design plumbing systems and select fixtures to meet the targeted water reduction goals. LEED Credit Responsibilities The MEP engineering team is directly responsible for the implementation and documentation of a number of LEED credits. The design of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems as well as the choice of equipment can contribute up to 40 points. Table 2.8 describes the critical credits that need input from the MEP team.

L/S CREDIT RESPONSIBILITIES OF ARCHITECT

L SS C4.2 Provide spaces for bicycle storage and showers.

L SS C4.3 Designate preferred parking spaces for low-emitting and fuel-

efficient vehicles and provide signage information; identify locations

for alternate- fuel charging stations.

cient fixtures.

S EA P1/C3 Prepare basis of design document.

S EA P2/C1 Consult with energy modeler/mechanical engineer during early

design stages to ensure that the building is optimized for energy

performance with the appropriate orientation, envelope composi-

tion, insulation, window U-Value, etc.

S EA C2 Design to incorporate any on-site renewable energy system,

such as solar panels on roof or other building integrated wind

or solar technologies. L MR P1 Designate areas for collection and storage of recyclables in

the building.

L MR C1 Evaluate options of reusing existing building structure and

interior elements.

S MR C3-C7 Specify green building materials—salvaged materials, materials with recycled content, regional materials, products made with

rapidly renewable materials, or FSC certified wood products.

L EQ P1/C2 If building is naturally ventilated, then design natural ventilation sys-

tem according to ASHRAE 62.1-2007, with operable window areas

according to the prerequisite s requirements.

L EQ P2 Provide designated smoking rooms with exhaust to outdoors,

weather strip doors, seal penetrations in walls, etc., as needed.

S EQ C4.1–4.4 Specify materials according to the volatile organic compounds (VOC) requirements and standards identified in the credits.

L EQ C5 Design permanent entryway systems for dirt capture; isolate spac-

es containing hazardous chemicals with deck-to-deck partitions,

self- closing doors, and exhaust to the outside. Coordinate with

mechanical engineer for exhaust incorporation.

S EQ C6.1 Design lighting layout and controls in consultation with

lighting consultant.

S EQ C6.2 Design to maximize thermal comfort of occupants—operable win-

dows, glare control, etc.

S EQ C8.1–8.2 Design to maximize access to daylight and views for occupants.
