The document provides information about LEED certification requirements for new buildings. It discusses the point thresholds for different LEED ratings, the categories and weighting of points, prerequisites and credits. Specific strategies are described for achieving points in categories like sustainable sites, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources. Stormwater management techniques, energy efficiency measures, use of recycled and local materials, and construction waste reduction are some of the green building features highlighted.
WWTS Sanctuary Belize Marina Village Request for proposal[mm2][fc3][final]Frank Costanzo Connelly
UNEP CSPAW compliant Waste Water Treatment package system for the Sanctuary Belize Marina Village mixed use development in Belize, Central America. This captured effluent system RFP is located on the eco-sensitive Sapodilla Lagoon and open Caribbean and is the first of its kind in performance, compliance with national and international guidelines and technology transfers to a Belize non-profit conservation land trust for maintenance and management.

This seminar was presented by me on 2008, Although the rating point changes on the past years, still the body contains many rich information and case studies related to green buildings and sustainable design.
Seminar Presented by me on 2008 which I performed again on 2013.
I Thought it worth reading, although the rating system did have some changes during the past years, but still the presentation gives an overall environmental and energy strategies, also it provides a case studies along with examples of projects worldwide.
I thought it would be a good start for a professionals whose interested in green and sustainable design.
Chaoqin Zhai is Technical Director for Integrated Solutions at UTC BIS North Asia, responsible for the development and promotion of UTC integrated building solutions. She also serves as Director for Energy Solutions at EMSI, managing the company’s energy service business, including commissioning, system audit and energy performance contracting. Dr. Zhai has more than fifteen years of experience in building science and technologies, specializing in areas of strategic planning of energy supply systems; commissioning and retro-commissioning of energy use system in buildings; energy audit and retrofit for building efficiency improvement; energy performance contracting (EPC), building energy simulation; green building design support and consultancy.
In this presentation Chaoqin talks about LEED EBOM as a framework for sustainable operation and maintenance, with an emphasis on energy management. She also includes a case study on the energy management of Shanghai IFC.

LEED rating is determined by earning points for
fulfilling requirements in the following six areas:
1.Sustainable Sites
2.Water Efficiency
3.Energy and Atmosphere Design
4.Materials and Resources
5.Indoor Environmental Quality
6.Innovation and Design Process

13. Stormwater Runoff and Parking Lot Pollution
Where buildings are located near water sources it is important to mitigate
the effects of stormwater runoff and parking lot pollution.
Pervious pavers. Pervious pavers installed in the parking lot to allow
stormwater to percolate into the ground and insure that stormwater runoff
volumes are/were the same as “predevelopment levels.”
RNV-13
15. Detention Ponds and Underground Separation Tanks
You can create detention ponds to capture runoff.
Underground separation tanks can be installed to filter sand and oil from
stormwater prior to its release into the city’s stormwater system.
RNV-15
17. Goal: Minimize energy used for heating, cooling and lighting.
Summer. In the summer a night flush vent system replaces the hot air
of the day with cool night time air.
RNV-17
18. Radiant heat system. A radiant heat system using the highest
efficiency commercial boilers and ceiling mounted radiant panels is used
to warm buildings on cold days.
RNV-18
19. Ceiling mounted radiant panels is used to warm buildings on cold days.
R30 insulation in the roof.
RNV-19
20. R12 insulation in the walls retain heat in the winter and keep
buildings cool in the summer
Roof mounted sky lights and smoke vents provide natural light to
the interior and workspace.
RNV-20
21. Photo sensors and motion detectors are used to shut off lights when
area lighting is not necessary.
RNV-21
23. Recycled materials in walls and floors. Concrete with recycled
content flyash for walls and floors.
See www.greenbuilder.com/sourcebook/Flyash.html
Interior columns and roof structures. Recycled steel for interior
columns and roof structures.
RNV-23
24. Use local materials. Distance from building site. How far were
materials shipped from? X% of the building materials and products used
were manufactured within 500 miles of the construction site.
X% of the construction materials derived from within 500 miles of
the construction.
RNV-24
25. FSC certified wood. Nearly 100% of the wood used in construction
was FSC certified — meaning that it was certified as sustainable by the
Forest Stewardship Council.
Low or No VOC finishes and carpets. The finishes and carpets
contained low or no VOCs with no urea formaldehyde resins.
