As of October 31, 2016, all new projects that are considering LEED certification must meet LEED v4.0 requirements. The new version claims to be streamlined, specialized, and allow for a better user experience, but what does this really mean and how will it affect our projects in the future?

LEED AP vs LEED AP with Speciality 5

For the early adopters of LEED green building professional credentials, the GBCI holds a special place for you in their da-tabase. Your LEED AP without specialty-more warmly referred to as ‘Legacy LEED AP’- never expires.

What is a LEED AP? ”

”-- GBES

The Bad NewsFor LEED APs without specialty, if you have not specialized yet, nor reported continuing educa-tion units every two years, you must re-test to get a specialty.

The USGBC now recognizes your knowledge level as equiva-lent to the LEED Green Associ-ate. So you don’t have to take the basic exam. But you do have to take the two-hour exam related to the specialty you want to be recognized for.

And after that, you must keep up with your continuing educa-tion.

The competition venues are located in four regions across Rio de Janeiro, so as to spread the legacy benefits to the population as a whole, as well as making the best possible use of structures already in place – thus avoiding white elephants after the Rio 2016 Games.

Each new venue is built according to a plan that assures its sustainability. That includes, for instance, structures designed in a way so as to maximise the use of natural lighting; reuse of rainwater; use of water and energy-saving devices within the venues; reuse of materials employed in the overlay.

The largest carbon mitigation in Games history 3.6

MILLION TONS OF CARBON DIOXIDE

That accounts for direct emissions, emissions frompartners (such as ones stemming from construction carried out by governments) and third party emissions (for example, spectators’ trips to attend competitions).

• Reduce the carbon incorporated to materials used by means of intelligent design and sustainable procurement

• Substitute renewable or alternate fuels for fossil fuels

Compensation under the responsibility of the Rio 2016 Committee – to be executed in partnership with Dow, world sponsor and official chemical company of the Olympic Games – will be the largest in the history of the Games. Starting with the use of technological mitigation, said

project as a whole. That accounts for direct emissions (those the Committee is responsible for), emissions from partners (such as ones stemming from construction carried out by governments) and third party emissions (for example, spectators’ trips to attend competitions). Within that scenario, the Rio 2016 Committee intends to cut 18.2 per cent of its own emissions. In order to achieve that goal, the following measures have been taken:

• Avoid emissions through careful planning of energy, transport, overlay and use of visual identity material

mitigation will generate environmental, economic and social gains.

The Rio 2016 Games’ technological carbon mitigation plans focus on three sectors of the Brazilian economy that have the highest emissions and biggest potential

for the introduction of sustainable technologies: agriculture, industry and infrastructure. Projects range from reducing food waste to improvement in energy efficiency, going through the construction of thermal insulation that will reduce the need for air-conditioning.

Renewable EnergyEnhancing User Experience

Transbay TerminalSan Francisco, CA

Rooftop Park: Instead of a five-acre roof absorbing and radiating heat, the 5.4 acre rooftop park will absorb carbon dioxide from bus exhaust, absorb and filter stormwater, and provide a habitat forlocal wildlife

Reduced Emissions:

Significantly reduces emissions of air pol-lutants, including re-ducing carbon diox-ide emissions by tens of thousands of tons each year, by encour-aging public transit use throughout the Bay Area

Strategy Overview

Extensive Use of Natural Lighting:

Lighting is the big-gest energy use in the Transbay Transit Cen-ter building. Light col-umns and skylights will be used extensively to bring natural light into the building and reduce energy costs.

350kGALLONS PER YEAR REDUCED COOLING TOWER

USE

Geothermal System:

To significantly reduce the energy required to cool the building, a geothermal system will harness the relatively low temperature of the ground to chill water passively

Natural Ventilation:

The building is substantially a naturally ventilated facility.

The bus deck is open on the sides andwill not require exhaust or air filtration – similar to an open parking garage.

Biophilic DesignThe Social Aspect of Sustainablity

Biophilic Design is a focused area of research that brings people to the center of the sustainability discussion. It attempts to scientifically understand how people interact with their environment and, consequently, how their environment can be de-signed to better support them.
