What is required for certifications in sustainable design such as LEED and Green Globes?

What will be an ideal response?


Most certifications require a specific level of documentation. Waste management, waste diversion, reuse, source reduction, and recycling are all difficult if not done from the beginning of the project. Important job documents that could affect profitability and performance can be lost forever if not done at the time the activity happens. Contractors generally will have requirements to keep record drawings as the project progresses but will also have documentation requirements associated with LEED and Green Globes requirements. These can be accomplished by specific reference in project subcontracts but also need to be part of the ongoing review of subcontractor requirements, similar to the procedure used with record drawings.
