1INT RO DU CT IO N1 IntroductionUBC aspires to demonstrate leading edge green building designand technologies, and is committed to accountability in buildingperformance. This guide aims to align the LEED Canada BuildingDesign and Construction 2009 rating systems and UBC campuspolicy to facilitate a high performance built environment oncampus. In addition, it will support the provincial requirement forall publicly funded new construction and major renovation projectsto achieve LEED Gold certification.The objective of this guide is to provide direction and clarificationfor the implementation of the LEED Canada Reference Guide forGreen Building Design and Construction 2009 (LEED Canada BD C2009) for the UBC Vancouver Campus. This guide will facilitate astreamlined and coordinated LEED process across the Vancouvercampus by identifying UBC sustainability and green buildingpriorities within the LEED Canada BD C 2009 rating systems, aswell as support exemplary project certification ratings. An analysisof all campus compliance paths was undertaken to determine UBCcampus-scale eligibility where available. For credits where campuscompliance is available, results of the analysis are included anddirection on how to comply is provided.It is the intention of UBC to update the contents of thisImplementation Guide in order to maintain consistency withcampus policy and priorities as they evolve, and as industry bestpractice and building performance strategies progress. Versionidentification will be identified by date; month and year ofpublication.1.1 Rationale for the Implementation GuideThis document is a companion document to the UBC VancouverCampus Plan Design Guidelines and UBC Technical Guidelines,serving to coordinate LEED Canada BD C 2009 implementation andcertification. The Guide is intended to provide project teams withthe UBC-specific guidance they require to optimize LEED for thecampus.This guide was informed by an extensive study of past performanceof LEED projects at UBC including interviews with design andproject management teams, an analysis of UBC policy andprograms within the context of LEED requirements, and a reviewof best practices at other institutions where LEED is used. Thestudy identified the credits within the LEED Canada rating systemsthat most clearly aligned with UBC policy and sustainable designpriorities, in addition to building performance thresholds that wereconsistently being met or surpassed. Refer to Appendix A for creditachievement rates of LEED Canada 1.0 projects at UBC.1
U BC L EED I M P L E M E N TATIO N G U I D EJ A N UA R Y 2 0 1 31.2 How to Use This GuideThis Guide interprets and supplements the LEED Canada BD C2009 rating systems for projects built on the UBC Vancouvercampus. The LEED Canada BD C 2009 Reference Guide remainsthe core document providing information and guidance on howto achieve and document each prerequisite and credit. Thisdocument identifies mandatory and credits that must be achievedfor UBC projects along with specific guidance for both mandatoryand optional credits, where applicable. It acts as an applicationguide where further UBC specific direction is offered and UBCperformance priorities are described. It is imperative to notethat direction is only given where applicable to the UBCcontext; all other cases are to follow the Reference Guide.Project teams should also reference the UBC Vancouver CampusPlan including Part 3, Design Guidelines, and the UBC TechnicalGuidelines. Where a project team feels a mandatory creditcannot be earned due to special circumstances, specific reportingrequirements for exemptions are described in Section 2.2.1.3 Resource ListThis section lists the documents referenced within this Guide andshould be referred to for additional guidance.

To earn anexemption, a Request for Variance must be made to the Director,C CP Campus Sustainability. Additional guidance on how to applyfor a Variance can be referenced at sign approvals.html.2.3 CertificationUBC requires design teams to pursue the Design and ConstructionSplit Review Option for all LEED Canada NC and CS 2009 projectson campus. This split review option, released in July 2012, entailsa two-stage review of the design-stage prerequisites and creditsimmediately following design. Upon completion of the project, atwo-stage review of the construction-stage credits and prerequisitesis undertaken.Adopting the split review option allows project teams to documentall design related credits during the construction administrationprocess prior to teams dissolving. It also permits clarification ofissues while the design team is still actively working with the largerproject team, thus greatly simplifying the certification process. Ageneral overview of the certification process can also be found inthe updated Certification Process tm#CertPro

Projects that cannot complyunder any option, must prepare a Variance Request and submit it tothe Director, C CP Campus Sustainability for approval.UBC ContextA density analysis has been completed for the UBC VancouverCampus. The analysis confirms that only projects located in theacademic core of the campus can meet the requirement of at least13,800 m2/ha. A campus Development Density (Site Plan 1) hasbeen generated to identify the various development densities acrosscampus. Areas shown in blue indicate locations with a density ofat least 13,800m2/ha. Areas shown in orange identify residentialdensities of at least 25 units/hectare.8Sustainable Sites

Floor areasfor each building can be obtained by contacting C CP CampusSustainability.Option 2: Community Connectivity (3 points)Projects may only pursue SSc2 through this compliance path ifOption 1 or 3 cannot be met. An analysis of local amenities shouldbe performed at the time the site is selected. C CP CampusSustainability can provide assistance identifying surroundingservices and amenities that are not clearly identified on existingcampus planning resources. If analysis indicates a lack ofamenities/services within the required 800m radius, the projectmust notify C CP Campus Sustainability office to determine ifadditional services may be added within the project timeframe.Residential areas of campus with average densities of 25 units perhectare have been identified in orange on the campus Density SitePlan. Projects must determine if their site location lies within 800mof at least one of these residential developments.Option 3: Community Connectivity with Density (5 points)Projects located in areas of the campus that cannot meet thesurrounding community density requirement of 13,800m2/ha, mustattempt to comply by demonstrating the project meets the densityrequirement combined with adequate services and amenitieslocated within 800m of the project site.

Projectsthat cannot comply must prepare a Variance Request and submit itto the Director, C CP Campus Sustainability for approval.UBC ContextPublic transportation access is a campus priority. A transit analysishas been completed for the UBC Vancouver Campus and confirmsthat most institutional project sites are within either 800 m walkingdistance of the UBC bus loop (CIR 831) or 400m walking distanceof a bus stop. Bus stops routes and walking distance measurementshave been identified on the UBC Transit Site Plans attached (SeeSection Site Plans). No additional transit infrastructure has beenplanned or funded.GuidanceOption 1: Rail Station Proximity (6 points)No rail station serves the UBC Vancouver Campus, however CIR831 provides an alternate compliance path for sites within 800m10Sustainable Sites

Refer to Site Plan 2:SSc4.1 Option 1 - UBC Bus Loop and Trip Summary. 1To confirm compliance, refer to the Site Plan 3: SSc4.1 option 1 UBC Transit within 800m, to locate the project site within 800m ofthe UBC Bus Loop. Please note that the Site Plan uses a straightline distance for the purposes of estimation, however SSc4.1 Option1 is evaluated based on the accessible walking route from thebuilding to the Transit Hub. Projects must confirm the accessiblewalking route is 800m or less between the building main entry andthe UBC Bus Loop.Option 2: Bus Stop Proximity (6 points)Use the Site Plan 4: SSc4.1 Option 2 - UBC Transit within 400m, todetermine if the project location meets the required criteria. Areasthat do not fall within 400m of one or more stops for two or morepublic bus lines are indicated with shading on the site plan. Pleasenote that the site plan uses a straight line distance for the purposesof estimation, however SSc4.1 Option 2 is evaluated based onthe accessible walking route from the building to the transit stop.Projects must confirm the accessible walking route is 400m or lessbetween the building main entry and the transit stop(s).Option 3: Transportation Demand Management (3 or 6 points)UBC may be able to demonstrate a significant reduction in SOVuse through the current Transportation Demand Management(TDM) Plan. The LEED Canada 2009 Reference Guide does notprovide a clear calculation methodology for establishing a baselinefor comparing reduction nor trip reduction assumptions from TDMstrategies. Teams wishing to pursue this option should identifythe baseline trip rates for the project using the Institute forTransportation Engineers’ (ITE) standard rates (http://www.ite.org/ 3).2To determine SOV reductions from TDM strategies, refer tothe latest screenline data from the annually published UBCTransportation Status Report available at transportation-status-reports/. Datacontained in the report is for the total campus commuting population,but can be assumed to be consistent at the building scale.23According to Translink Timetables for September 2012. Refer to UBC Bus LoopSite Plan and Trip Calculation Summary: SSc4.1 Option 1, for a summary ofservice and trip calculations.Use of ITE Standard trip reduction data to determine the baseline trips isconsistent with the USGBC LEED for Neighbourhood Development (ND) 2009Rating System, NPDc8 – Transportation Demand Management Plan.Sustainable Sites11
