Low emitting material use, high quality lighting, and ample daylight with glare control devices are credit possibilities in the indoor environmental quality category. Once registered, the building owner will put together a project team, including a project administrator and individuals responsible for compliance with different credits. The administrator oversees the project, delegates to and supervises the team members, and checks the application for accuracy.
The owner has ultimate control over the process, and receives priority response with the LEED reviewers. Step two is to begin the application process by identifying which credits to pursue, and assigning them to team members. As team members submit data on credits achieved, the project administrator will thoroughly review each form and attached file, and cross-check credits and prerequisites to be sure the form is accurate and complete.
The application fee is a per-project scaled amount based on size of project and rating system, and must be paid before the review system begins. The application is reviewed in step three by the Green Building Certification Institute, the organization responsible for administering LEED certifications. Expedited review cuts the review time from business days to business days, for a fee.
Building owners can accept the decision, or appeal it. The following suggestions were provided by the Natural Resources Defense Council to give building owners their best shot at a successful application.
Many federal agencies and state and local governments reward LEED certification, which are becoming more sought in commercial markets by increasingly environmentally conscious companies. While the application process can be both time consuming and expensive, companies that view the investments over the life cycle of the building will find that not only will their actions be good for the planet, but good for their pockets as well.
