voluntary, consensus-based, and market-driven.
Based on existing and proven technology, they
evaluate environmental performance from a whole
building perspective over a buildings life cycle,
providing a definitive standard for what constitutes
a green building in design, construction, and
operation.
The LEED Credit Weightings
In LEED 2009, the allocation of points between

credits is based on the potential environmental
impacts and human benefits of each credit
with respect to a set of impact categories.
The impacts are defined as the environmental
or human effect of the design, construction,
operation, and maintenance of the building, such
as greenhouse gas emissions, fossil fuel use, toxins
and carcinogens, air and water pollutants, indoor
environmental conditions. A combination of
approaches, including energy modeling, life-cycle
assessment, and transportation analysis, is used
to quantify each type of impact. The resulting II. Overview and Process

When to Use LEED 2009 for New Construction
LEED for new construction was designed primarily

for new commercial office buildings, but it has
been applied to Many other building types by
leed practitioners. All commercial buildings, as
defined by standard building codes, Are eligible for
certification as leed for new construction buildings.

Certification
To earn LEED certification, the applicant project

must satisfy all the prerequisites and qualify
for a minimum number of points to attain the
established project ratings as listed below. Having
satisfied the basic prerequisites of the program,
applicant projects are then rated according to their
degree of compliance within the rating system.
III. Minimum Program Requirements
The LEED 2009 minimum program requirements

(MPRS) define the minimum characteristics that
a project must possess in order to be eligible for
certification under LEED 2009. These requirements
define the categories of buildings that the LEED
rating systems were designed to evaluate, and
taken together serve three goals: to give clear
guidance to customers, to protect the integrity
of the LEED program, and to reduce challenges
that occur during the LEED certification process.
It is expected that MPRS will evolve over time
along with LEED rating system improvements.
The requirements will apply only to those projects
registering under LEED 2009. To view the mprs
and the MPR supplemental guidance, visit the

Intermodal passenger transports major goal is
to reduce dependence on theautomobile as the
major mode of ground transportation and
Source: LRTA and MRT3 increase use of public transport.
Intermodal freight transport reduces cargo
handling, and so improves security, reduces
damage and loss and allows freight to be
transported faster. Reduced costs over road
trucking is the key benefit for intracontinental
use.
