Home My WebLink About19 - Information about LEED CertificationCITY OF NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Agenda Item No. 19 October 25, 2005 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: City Manager's Office Homer Bludau, City Manager 949 - 644 -3000 or hbludau @city.newport- beach.ca.us SUBJECT: Information about LEED ISSUE: What is the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEEDTDA) Green Building Rating System? How might LEED be applied to a proposed new civic center complex? RECOMMENDATION: Discussion only. DISCUSSION: As the City has considered constructing a new civic center complex, the Council and residents have been interested in learning more about "LEED" — "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design." LEED is a process by which the US Green Building Council (www.usgbc.org determines a building's environmental standards. The Council was formed to provide a national standard for "green buildings." The Green Building Council's intent is to improve occupant well- being, environmental performance and economic returns of buildings using established and innovative practices, standards and technologies. LEED uses a point -by -point rating scale, awarding credits for a building's design in six categories — these are: • Sustainable Sites; • Water efficiency; • Energy and Atmosphere; • Materials and Resources; • Indoor Environmental Quality; and • Innovation in Sustainable Design. A building project earns one or more points toward certification by meeting or exceeding each credit's technical requirements. All prerequisites must be achieved in order to qualify for certification. Points add up to a final score that relates to one of four possible levels of certification -- basic certification, silver, gold and platinum. Rick D'Amato of LPA, Inc will give a presentation to the Council on LEED and the likely ways that the proposed civic center complex may be able to attain LEED certification. No Council action is requested on this agenda item.
