What is LEED Recertification and how can it add value to your building?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All LEED-certified buildings are eligible for the LEED recertification<\/strong>, which consists of verifying that, over the years, the building continues to operate in accordance with LEED standards. For this purpose, it must be supplied updated performance data information<\/strong> in energy, water, waste, transport, indoor air quality, toxin-free environment and occupant satisfaction. Furthermore, the recertification will allow increase the building certification level<\/strong>. If your project already has LEED certificate<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, in this article we will explain to you what recertification involves<\/strong> and why Evalore is the company to trust with the recertification process.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Primarily, LEED Recertification encourages all those occupied and in-use projects that have previously been LEED certificates<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, to supervise their performance data, demonstrating the maintenance of LEED requirements and standards<\/strong>, after its construction and occupation. In general, all of the<\/strong> LEED projects<\/strong> - past, present and future - including LEED Building Design and Construction BD+C and Interior Design and Construction ID+C, regardless of their rating system or initial version, They can be recertified by providing<\/strong> 12 consecutive months of data <\/strong>in each of the evaluation categories. Allowing the performance of energy, water, waste, transport, indoor environmental quality, and occupant satisfaction in the building to be assessed. In addition, projects using this recertification pathway they will obtain certification for the most recent version<\/strong> the LEED.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recertification for LEED-EBOM and LEED v4.1 projects<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In particular, projects certified under any version of LEED for Existing Buildings (LEED-EBOM<\/strong>) are due recertify compulsorily<\/strong> at least once every five years<\/strong> to maintain their certification current, emphasising the importance of continuous improvement. In which new credits that had not been documented can be added, covering the performance period from the previous certification to the new application.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, for the projects with the latest LEED v4.1 version<\/strong>, this period is called the \u00abreporting period\u00bb and has a duration of 12 months<\/strong>. Some categories, such as energy and water, require data for the entire period<\/strong>, meaning data for the 12 consecutive months of total consumption in the building. Other categories allow for at least one analysis per year within the reporting period.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LEED recertification encourages project teams to monitor their performance data and demonstrate that their buildings operate as they did at project inception<\/em>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It is also important to highlight that, LEED v4.1 O+M recertification<\/strong>, is recertification available for all LEED projects, it is necessary because it allows the current performance of the building to be quantified<\/strong>, make the improvements, and have a sustainable building. To carry out this process, it is advisable to use a consultancy firm that will be responsible for entering the data using platforms like Arc; if you are interested in finding out more, we will explain it to you in this article.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
