LEED Certification Services for The Portland Area
WHAT DOES THE LEED CERTIFICATION PROCESS FOR YOUR CONSTRUCTION PROCESS ENTAIL?
The LEED application, review and certification process is handled online.
Register your project at LEED Online. On the LEED Online website, select the rating system applicable to your project. There is a choice of five:
- Building Design and Construction (BD+C)
- Interior Design and Construction (ID+C)
- Building Operations and Maintenance
- Neighborhood Development
- Homes
The website will also give you access to different resources to help you make your application.
Collect and upload information and documents according to specific LEED points or credits that you want to acquire. USGBC recommends that you double-check each credit to make sure your information is entered accurately and consistently. This may be stating the obvious for companies used to rigorously checking their estimates, bids, regulatory compliance, and so on. However, with the time, effort and money involved in LEED certification, a reminder while you prepare your application does no harm.
Submit your application. This can be in one step, using a LEED standard review. It can also be in as many as four separate steps if you are applying for a BD+C and ID+C project (see step 4 above). In these cases, the application can be split into a design review and a construction review, each of which can be further split into a preliminary and a final review. So that makes a total of 4 possible review steps—but only for BD+C and ID+C projects.
The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is the LEED certification itself.
Certification done by a LEED accredited third party. According to the points scored for your construction project, you’ll get your certified, silver, gold, or platinum rating.
