Utilize innovative approaches and techniques for green design and cross-discipline design and decision making, beginning in the programming and pre- design phase. At a minimum, ensure the following process:Owner s Project Requirements DocumentPrepare an Owner s Project Requirements (OPR) document. Develop a health mission statement and incorporate it in the OPR. The health mission statement must address "triple bottom line" values economic, environmental and social. Include goals and strategies to safeguard the health of building occupants, the local community and the global environment, while creating a high-performance healing environment for the building s patients, caregivers and Rating GoalsAs early as practical and preferably before schematic design , conduct a preliminary LEED meeting with a minimum of four key project team members and the owner or owner s representative.

2 As part of the meeting, create a LEED action plan that, at a minimum: Determines the LEED certification level to pursue (Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum); Selects the LEED credits to meet the targeted certification level; and Identifies the responsible parties to ensure the LEED requirements for each prerequisite and selected Credit are Project TeamAssemble an integrated project team and include as many of the following professionals as feasible (minimum of four), in addition to the owner or owner s CharretteAs early as practical and preferably before schematic design , conduct a minimum four-hour , integrated design charrette with the project team as defined above.

3 N/ACIntegrative ProcessNC, CS, S, R, DC, WDC, HOS, HCTo support high performance, cost-effective project outcomes throughan early analysis of the interrelationships among SystemsDiscoveryPerform a preliminary simple box energy modeling analysis before the completion of schematic design that explores how to reduce energy loads in the building and accomplish related sustainability goals by questioning default assumptions. Assess at least two potential strategies associated with the following: Site conditions. Assess shading, exterior lighting, hardscape, landscaping, and adjacent site conditions. Massing and orientation. Assess how massing and orientation affect HVAC sizing, energy consumption, lighting, and renewable energy opportunities. Basic envelope attributes. Assess insulation values, window-to-wall ratios, glazing characteristics, shading, and window operability. Lighting levels. Assess interior surface reflectance values and lighting levels in occupied spaces. Thermal comfort ranges.

4 Assess thermal comfort range options. Plug and process load needs. Assess reducing plug and process loads through programmatic solutions ( , equipment and purchasing policies, layout options). Programmatic and operational parameters. Assess multifunctioning spaces, operating schedules, space allotment per person, teleworking, reduction of building area, and anticipated operations and how the above analysis informed design and building form decisions in the project s OPR and BOD and the eventual design of the projectWater-Related SystemsDiscoveryPerform a preliminary water budget analysis before the completion of schematic design that explores how to reduce potable water loads in the building and accomplish related sustainability goals. Assess and estimate the project s potential nonpotable water supply sources and water demand volumes, including the following: Indoor water demand. Assess flow and flush fixture design case demand volumes, calculated in accordance with WE Prerequisite Indoor Water-Use Reduction.

5 Outdoor water demand. Assess landscape irrigation design case demand volume calculated in accordance with WE Credit Outdoor Water-Use Reduction. Process water demand. Assess kitchen, laundry, cooling tower, and other equipment demand volumes, as applicable. Supply sources. Assess all potential nonpotable water supply source volumes, such as on-site rainwater and graywater, municipally supplied nonpotable water, and HVAC equipment condensateImplementationDocument how the above analysis informed building and site design decisions in the project s OPR and BOD. Demonstrate how at least one on-site nonpotable water supply source was used to reduce the burden on municipal supply or wastewater treatment systems by contributing to at least two of the water demand components listed Process1.
