2. Phase 1: Students measure on sight and draw a
model of existing conditions.
Pre – Design Drawings
• Floor Plan
• Wall Elevations
• 3D Model screen shots & walk through
• LEED Strategies for Green Building Renovation

3. The following Architectural drawings are cut from the
3D model and put into layout where the title block is
inserted and the scale is applied.
At this point, important detail dimensions are
added.

13. Phase 2: Students consider which LEED Rating System
best fits their project.
Rating Systems:
1. LEED for New Construction
2. LEED for Existing Buildings
3. LEED for Commercial Interiors
4. LEED for Core and Shell
5. LEED for Homes
6. LEED for Schools
7. LEED for Retail
8. LEED for Healthcare
9. LEED for Neighborhood Development
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) standard, developed by
the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)

14. Phase 2, part b: Once the Rating System has been selected,
students first meet ‘Pre-requisites,’ and then consider how to
maximize their potential achievable credits from each ‘Category’
in order to earn highest level of certification for their project.

30. Phase 3: After the presentation drawings are viewed,
discussions are initiated with the client to consider all ideas
and possibilities for the renovation.
• The Conversion of existing use to desired new use of
space.
• The additions and subtraction of
walls, electrical, plumbing, windows or doors, floors and
ceilings.

31. • The Use & re-use of existing materials.
• The LEED benefits are then discussed to fully
understand the enhanced value of the project through
sustainable design solutions.

32. After the detailed discussions . . .
• These ideas are drawn into the existing model and
presented again to assure clear communication between
client and designer/builder.
• Once agreed upon, cost estimates are made and submitted
with revised drawings and specifications.
• Contracts are drawn and signed and project work is then
scheduled.
