Editor's Notes

  • #4 This is an official slide given to USGBC Education Providers by the U.S. Green Building Council. This slide should be used in all courses approved by USGBC towards the Green Building Certification Institutes LEED Credential Maintenance Program. This slide may ONLY be used for currently approved courses and may never, under any condition be used in the materials for a course not approved by USGBC. Instructor should announce:This course is approved by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for [#] GBCI CE Hours towards the LEED Credential Maintenance Program. Upon successful completion of this course, LEED Professionals may submit their hours to Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) under the “Professional Development/Continuing Education” activity type in “My credentials” at www.gbci.org. Some sections of this slide are left as editable. Education Providers should update this template as per the approved course.

  • #18 The rating system is divided into three categories: Smart Location & Linkage, Neighborhood Pattern & Design, and Green Infrastructure & Buildings. All three have prerequisites which are required of all projects and credits which reward performance. There also are ten additional points for Innovation and Design Process (exemplary performance and innovative performance) and Regional Priority Credits.

  • #74 FOR ALL PROJECTSThe following features are not considered wetlands, water bodies, or buffer land that must be protected:a. Previously developed land.b. Man-made water bodies (such as industrial mining pits, concrete-lined canals, or stormwater retentionponds) that lack natural edges and floors or native ecological communities in the water and along the edgec. Man-made linear wetlands that result from the interruption of natural drainages by existing rights-of-way.d. Wetlands that were created incidentally by human activity and have been rated “poor” for all measuredwetland functions. Wetland quality assessment must be performed by a qualified biologist using a methodthat is accepted by state or regional permitting agencies.
