LEED Feasibility and Project Assessment

While every project can benefit from the third party verification and commitment to sustainability goals that LEED requires, not every project is right for the LEED Rating system.   An important first step involves a LEED Feasibility study. 

As part of the Feasibility process, Dillehay Architecture will:

  • Develop a preliminary LEED scorecard to reach a minimum level of LEED Certification as well as describe possible alternative paths to certification. (45 points to allow a point threshold buffer).

  • Provide a review of LEED certification process, and general requirements.

  • Provide a broad brushed outline of responsibilities for all members of the project team. This will include Design Team, Consultants, and scorecard developed by LEED consulting team.

  • Provide estimates of overall cost impact on project. This will include ballpark estimates for necessary consultants, as well as additional time needed by the design and construction team.

LEED Consulting for General Contractors

We will work directly with the General Contractor to meet their required High Performance and Sustainable Building goals with regard to LEED (Third Party Certification) 

  • Develop LEED implementation plan (Sustainability Action Plan):  provide detailed description of all activities related to accomplishing project LEED requirements.

  • Manage Implementation Plan: monitor the progress of all credits and pre-requisites, and provide a monthly report updating the status of each credit for the duration of construction. 

  • Manage LEED submittal documents: prepare and submit all LEED Letter templates and documentation necessary for the credits and pre-requisites.   Address all inquiries from the GBCI related to construction credits.

  • Organize and assemble all LEED documentation to be provided to Owner upon receipt of LEED rating.
