Resources & Tools

Copy Credit: United State Building Council (USGBC)

  • Reference Guide Addenda: Green Building Design & Construction (PDF) — Corrections and clarifications to the LEED Reference Guide for Green Building Design and Construction, 2009 Edition. It is strongly recommended that project teams adhere to the Reference Guide addenda based on registration date.
  • Multiple Building Application Guide (PDF) — A document of guidelines for projects to apply LEED 2009 credits to a campus or multi-building setting such as corporate campuses, college campuses, and government installations is currently under development. In the interim, LEED 2009 projects may apply the guidelines as provided in this October 2005 document given that all requirements of the applicable LEED 2009 rating system are adhered to. For LEED 2009, buildings that are certifying together must be grouped in the same block, but registered separately. See the Help section of LEED Online for more information on blocks.

    • Minimum Program Requirements

    • Minimum Program Requirements — Projects registered under any of the LEED 2009 rating systems must comply with the Minimum Program Requirements (MPRs). MPRs are also found in the introductions of each LEED 2009 rating system. (11/24/2009)
    • LEED 2009 MPR Supplemental Guidance — This document builds on the MPRs by establishing exceptions, providing direction for specific situation, defining key terms, and describing the intent behind each MPR. (11/25/2009)

    Water Efficiency

    • WE Prerequisite 1 Additional Guidance (PDF) — Provides guidance for fixture groups, total daily uses calculation, dual flush toilet flow rates, and public metering conversions.  (12/1/2009)

    Energy and Atmosphere

    • District Thermal Energy Treatment (PDF) — Treatment of Energy & Atmosphere prerequisites and credits for LEED buildings that are connected to a district thermal energy system. LEED 2009 projects should follow the guidance in this document until the LEED 2009 DES document is posted (estimated Q4 2009). Please note that any mention of the 2-point minimum in this document should be translated to apply towards the minimum EAp2 prerequisite for LEED 2009.

    Indoor Environmental Quality

    • Daylight Diagrams (PDF) — Diagrams that support the Toplighting Table in the LEED Online form for credits EQc8.1 in LEED for New Construction, Commercial Interiors, Schools, and Core & Shell, and EQc2.4 in LEED for Existing Buildings: O&M. (5/4/2009)
