Appendix A of the Recertification Guidance shows how projects certified under LEED-EB v2.0 can make the transition to LEED 2009, and how compliance with SSc1 can be achieved. The matrix shows the credits that are likely to require significant updates to comply with v2009 requirements and thresholds, versus those that will need minor adjustments. See the guidance for more information on how EB v2.0 projects can comply with SSc1.
Submetering at the space level will not help a project building achieve WEc1 Option 2 for submetering. Qualifying types of submeters for this credit include irrigation, indoor plumbing fixtures/fittings, cooling tower water, domestic hot water, or process water use.
Vendors are critical to achieving this credit. Make sure the vendors are up to speed on the requirements. Moreover, have a check-in each time the pest vendor visits the building to ensure best practices are being followed.
Revise your inventory to only include pesticides listed as Tier 3 (least-toxic) in the San Francisco Pesticide Hazard Screening List. From your inventory, be sure to communicate those pesticides that shouldn't be used anymore.
Don’t forget to include a responsible party—include a position title, or even better, the name of a person (and their position title) who will oversee the implementation of this plan. If there are multiple people involved, list as many as seem relevant.
This prerequisite only includes core water uses—bathroom lavatories, water closets, urinals, showers, kitchen faucets and pre-rinse sprays. Janitors’ sinks, pot fillers, and tub faucets can be left out as they are used to fill containers with a fixed water volume regardless of the flow rate. "Kitchen sinks" includes all sinks in public or private buildings that are used with patterns and purposes similar to a sink in a residential kitchen. Break room sinks would be included; commercial kitchen sinks are not included.
You can pursue an innovation point by expanding the durable goods recycling program and inviting your tenants to bring in their durable goods from home.
