LEED Certification Challenges and Approaches: Chapter 10 of Greening Existing Buildings
There are three keys to a successful LEED-EBOM project:
1.Getting organizational commitment to the process and managing the changes in the organization required for a successful project, such as changing people’s recycling behavior
2.Performing the required upgrades to building or facility operations, including adopting the LEED-required policies
3.Managing the LEED-certification process itself, including collecting all required documentation from the many project participants
This chapter addresses the specific issues associated with managing successful certification projects, including creating the project team, engaging with the commissioning and certification process, conducting team meetings, tracking team progress, and justifying economic costs and benefits. Leading consultants provide a number of tips for getting EBOM projects done on an accelerated timetable. The company or organization needs to change purchasing and operating practices, and change its specifications for remodels and renovations. Approaches also differ between government and private sector projects.
