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

All LEED-certified buildings can apply for LEED Recertification<\/strong>, which consists of verifying that, over the years, the building continues to function according to LEED standards. For this purpose, it must be supplied Updated performance data<\/strong> in energy, water, waste, transport, indoor air quality, toxin-free environment and occupant satisfaction. Furthermore, recertification will allow increase the building's certification level<\/strong>. If your project has already LEED certificate<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, in this article we will explain What does recertification involve?<\/strong> And why Evalore is the company to trust with the recertification process.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The LEED Recertification is a process that allows buildings to maintain their LEED certification for a period of three years. It is a way to verify that the building continues to function as designed and that its sustainable practices are still in place.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mainly, LEED Recertification incentivises all those occupied and in-use projects that were previously LEED certificates<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, to supervise their Performance data, demonstrate maintenance of LEED requirements and standards<\/strong>, after their construction and occupation. Generally, all<\/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, can be recertified by providing<\/strong> 12 consecutive months of data <\/strong>in each of the assessment categories. Allowing for the evaluation of energy, water, waste, transport, indoor environmental quality, and occupant satisfaction performance in the building. Furthermore, projects that use this recertification route They will obtain certification for the latest 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 BuildingsLEED-EBOM<\/strong>) must be recertify mandatorily<\/strong> at least once every five years<\/strong> to maintain their certification, emphasising the importance of continuous improvement. New credits that had not previously been documented can be added. Covering the performance period from the previous certification up to the new application.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, for the projects with the latest LEED v4.1 version<\/strong>, that period is called the \u00abreporting period\u00bb and lasts for 12 months<\/strong>. Some categories, such as energy and water, require data for the whole period<\/strong>, i.e. information for 12 consecutive months of total consumption in the building. Other categories allow for at least one annual analysis 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 are functioning as they were at the start of the project.<\/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>, implement improvements, and have a sustainable building. To carry out this process, it is advisable to have a consultancy that will be responsible for entering the data through platforms such as Arc. If you are interested in knowing more, this article will explain it to you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
