BICSI & LEEDWhat Role Does This Play
in theITS Community?
U.S. Green Building Council
U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)
• Headquartered in Washington, DC, USA
• Founded in 1993
• Membership: 30,000 Individual Members
• 79 Chapters
U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)
• Build environmentally friendly buildings and communities
• Created LEED® Green Building Rating System™
• Created LEED® Accredited Professional (AP)– More than 130,000 APs
What is LEED®?
• Leadership in Energy and EnvironmentalDesign (LEED) Green Building Rating System™
• Rating system to promote sustainable green building development (Version 3)
• LEED projects are in progress in 41 different countries, including Australia, Europe, Middle East
What is LEED®?
• More than 4.5 billion square feet of construction space involved with LEED
• Over 25,611 LEED projects completed (Sept 09)
Convergence of Intelligent and Green Buildings
LEED® Rating Systems
LEED® Certifications
LEED Point System
• Certified: 40-49 points
• Silver: 50-59 points
• Gold: 60-79 points
• Platinum: 80 points and above
• August 2007 - BICSI recognizes no Technology Credits available for LEED rated projects
• March 2008 - BICSI meets with USGBC • USGBC recommends that BICSI lead a group named “BICSI
LEED Consortium”• Original members were BICSI and the Telecommunications
Industry Association (TIA)
• June 2008 – Consortium first meeting with USGBC
BICSI’s Involvement with USGBC
• July 2008 – Consortium adds InfoComm as a member
• November 2008 – Consortium meets at the International GreenBuild Conference in Boston, MA, to develop Innovation Technology Credits
• December 2008 – Consortium name changed to “Green Building Technology Alliance” to be organization-neutral– Alliance adds CABA as member
BICSI’s Involvement with USGBC
• May 2009 – Submitted first Innovation Technology Credit to USGBC
BICSI’s Involvement with USGBC
GBTA Members
BICSI– Brian Hansen– Betty Bezos– Dave Labuskes
InfoComm– Randal Lemke– Scott Walker – Tony Warner (Chair)
TIA– Andy Kurtzman (Secretary)– Kevin Ressler
CABA– Ron Zimmer– Roy Kolasa– Randy Storch
• Develop Innovation Technology Credits for LEED that could apply within existing Innovation in Design sections
• Solicit suggestions from the participating GBTA member organizations for possible Technology Credits
GBTA Focus
GBTA Focus
• Continue to explore other like organizations that may potentially be added to the Alliance
• Explore all Technologies within the IP infrastructure for possible credits
• Build a suite of Technology Credits for 2011 LEED Rating System
GBTA Focus
• Work with USGBC to create a “Best Practices Guide” for Technology
• Get technology information added into their reference guides
• Possibly develop our own Green Technology Certification
Submittal Process
Innovation in DesignSubmittal Process
• Pilot Credit
• Every LEED Rating has 3 main parts:– Intent– Requirements– Potential Technologies & Strategies
Innovation in Design—Intent
• Describe the main purpose of the proposed Innovation Technology Credit
Innovation in Design—Requirements
• To Provide: – The proposed requirement for compliance
– The proposed submittals to demonstrate compliance
– The design approach that may be used to meet the requirements
Innovation in Design—Potential Technologies and Strategies
• Apply technologies and/or strategies that demonstrate a comprehensive approach and quantifiable environmental benefit
– Submission of supporting documentation vitally important

New Submittal Process
• Version 3 has a different CIR process• USGBC is talking about “Pilot Credits” instead
of using Innovation & Design• Using Green Building Certification Institute
(GBCI) to verify new credits going forward required to get ANSI approval for accreditation
