LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN(LEED) CERTIFICATION IN THE CARIBBEANBY AMOY THEOBALDS-PROSPERELEED Green Associate30/09/2020
WHAT IS LEEDLEADERSHIP INENERGY ANDENVIRONMENTALDESIGN THE U.S. GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL (USGBC), COFOUNDED BY MIKE ITALIANO, DAVID GOTTFRIED &RICK FEDRIZZI IN 1993, IS A NON-PROFIT TRADEORGANIZATION THAT PROMOTES SUSTAINABILITY INHOW BUILDINGS ARE DESIGNED, BUILT ANDOPERATED. USGBC IS BEST KNOWN FOR THEDEVELOPMENT OF LEED GREEN BUILDING RATINGSYSTEMS
WHAT IS LEED (CONTD.)LEADERSHIP INENERGY ANDENVIRONMENTALDESIGN AN INDEPENDENT PROGRAM DEVELOPED BY THEU.S. GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL THAT PROVIDESBENCHMARKS FOR THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION,AND OPERATION OF HIGH PERFORMANCEGREEN BUILDINGS & NEIGHBORHOODS THAT PROVIDES THIRD PARTY VERIFICATION OFGREEN BUILDINGS LEED CERTIFICATION IS A GLOBALLY RECOGNIZEDSYMBOL OF SUSTAINABILITY ACHIEVEMENT ANDLEADERSHIP
WHY LEED?LEED-certified buildings are designed to: Lower operating costs and increase assetvalue Conserve energy and water Reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions Reduce waste sent to landfills Be healthier and safer for occupantsLEED IS THE MOST WIDELY USED GREEN BUILDINGRATING SYSTEM IN THE WORLDLEED also provides a Third party validationof achievement & good public relations (PR)Green Buildings Can ReduceSource: Hussin, Jamilus & Abdul Rahman, Ismail & Memon, Aftab.

WHY LEED?LEED IS THE MOST WIDELY USED GREEN BUILDING RATING SYSTEM IN THE WORLDAs of 2018, 96,275 registeredand certified projects in morethan 167 countries andterritories.USGBC invests more than 30million annually to maintain,operate and improve LEEDand its customer delivery.Source: green-building
BUILDING CERTIFICATIONLEED RATING SYSTEMSBuilding Design &Construction (BD C)Interior Design &Construction (ID C)CommercialBuildingsOperations &Maintenance (O M)HomesNeighborhoodDevelopment (ND)ResidentialMixed-useDevelopmentLEED for New Construction & Major Renovations addresses design constructionactivities for both new buildings and major renovations of existing buildings, whichincludes major HVAC improvements, significant envelope modifications, and major interiorrehabilitation.LEED for existing Buildings helps maximize the efficiency of your operations whileminimizing the impact on the environmentLEED for Core & Shell can be used for project where the developer controls the designand construction of the entire core and shell base (e.g., mechanical, electrical, plumbingand fire protection systems) but has no control over the design and construction of thetenant fit-out.LEED for commercial interiors is the recognized system for certifying high-performancegreen tenant spaces that are healthy, productive place to work, are less costly tooperate and maintainLEED for Homes promotes the design and construction of high-performance homes–energy efficient, resource efficient and healthy for occupants. A home that achieves LEEDcertification has been designed to maximize fresh air indoors, minimizing exposure toair-bourne toxins and pollutants. It also has the potential to use 20-30% less energy.LEED of neighborhood contributes towards thoughtful neighborhood planning can limitthe need for automobiles and their greenhouse gas emissions. Mixed-use developmentand pedestrian-friendly streets encourage walking, bicycling and public transportation

HARBOR CLUB DIVE SCHOOLGreen Design Features:LEED Platinum CertifiedLEED BC D V3Platinum 81/110 Low efficient glazing (reduces on the heat gain transmitted throughthe glass). Most of the building materials finishes have high recycle content, lowVOCs (volatile organic compound) and high solar reflective index(SRI). These include: floor finishes, wall finishes, paints, roofingmaterials (Enviroshake) etc. LED lighting; will be saving and reducing energy consumption byapproximately 40% using LED light fixtures Occupancy Sensors: lightings have sensors to reduce energyconsumption. Sensors on fixtures (washroom fixtures).
HARBOR CLUB DIVE SCHOOLGreen Design Features (Con’t):LEED Platinum CertifiedLEED BC D V3Platinum 81/110 Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Panels; will be generating approximately40,000 Kilo watt-hours which supplements electricity and help reducegrid energy consumption. 5 large reuse water tanks/ rainwater water tanks in the basement ofthe Dive School, reduce the fresh water intake of the building.Totaling 92,550-gallon, water from these tanks are used to flushtoilets, do laundry and for irrigation. Toilets: are energy efficient- low flush (average 1.28GPF).
ON-GOING LEED PROJECT IN ANTIGUA & BARBUDAPart of the “Sustainable Pathways: Protected Areas & Renewable Energy” (SPPARE) Project, Executed by theDepartment of Environment (DOE) Antigua & Barbuda, Implemented by United Nations Environment Program andFunded by the Global Environment Facility.
ON-GOING LEED PROJECT IN ANTIGUA & BARBUDALEED Design features include: Silt fencing established to adhere to Sustainable Siterequirements. Water harvesting and power consumption designed to have theproject run off grid. Energy modeling was done. LED lighting Building painted white along with the roof sheets to maximizeradiation reduction. Low flush and flow fixtures. Garbage separated for Recycling at the source. Parking to accommodate electric vehicles. Community Parkingarea with shuttle located within 10 key service areas. Local procurement of materials.
