LEED-New Construction Project Management

A One-Stop Guide to Managing LEED-New Construction Projects

This GreenSource book explains, step by step, how to integrate LEED-New Construction (NC) rating system requirements into the building design and construction processes. Project planning, goals, coordination, implementation, and documentation are covered in detail.

LEED-New Construction Project Management provides a tested framework for taking a project from inception to successful certification and shows you how to master the tools to make the process more efficient. Three in-depth case studies covering new commercial building construction, major renovations, and a portfolio of buildings highlight the strategies presented in the book.

LEED-New Construction Project Management covers:

• The LEED rating system and LEED-NC credit categories
• The project management process
• Project definition and goal setting
• Design phase integration
• Construction phase implementation
• The LEED process: adaptability, applicability, and best practices
• Future trends
• Credit implementations: sustainable sites; water efficiency; energy and atmosphere; materials and resources; indoor environmental quality; innovation in design
