LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance (LEED-EBOM) is a LEED

rating system developed for existing

commercial and institutional buildings

(especially office buildings).

What is LEED-EBOM?


LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance (LEED-EBOM) is a rating

system applicable to building operations,

processes, systems upgrades, and minor

space use changes.

What is LEED-EBOM?


Armstrong HQ, Lancaster PA, LEED-EB Platinum

LEED-EBOM is targeted towards building

owners and operators of existing buildings.

Who uses LEED-EBOM?


Oregon Convention Center, Portland OR, LEED-EB Certified

LEED-EBOM is targeted at single

buildings that are 100% owner-

occupied, multiple-building projects,

and single multi-tenant buildings. In

order to certify multi tenant projects,

tenant cooperation and participation

tenant cooperation and participation

will be required.

LEED-EBOM is a whole-building rating system; individual tenant spaces are ineligible.

Adobe HQ, San Jose CALEED-EB Platinum

Other criteria needed for EBOM eligibility includes:1. A minimum of 75% occupancy

(by square footage) for 12

consecutive months prior to

registration

2. 90% - 100% of the floor area of

The LEED-EBOM Performance Period is the

time frame within which all applicable policies,

programs, and tracking systems must be in

place and operational. In this way, the USGBC

can verify that there will be no delays in

instituting policies outlined in the LEED-EBOM

requirements.

requirements.

Initial certification Performance Period:Minimum of 3 months for all applicable

prerequisites and credits and 12 months for

the energy performance credits (EA

prerequisite 2 and EA credit 1)

LEED-EBOM Performance Period


All performance periods must end within 1

week of each other (EAp2 and EAc1

notwithstanding)

Many LEED-EBOM credits require a policy to

be written and put in place for future actions.

All of the policies required by LEED-EBOM

must contain the following components of the

Policy Model.

LEED-EBOM Policy Model


1. Scope: the processes to

which the policy applies

2. Performance Metric: how

performance will be

measured or evaluated



measured or evaluated

3. Goals: the sustainability

goals for the building (note:

high goals are encouraged,

actual achievement is not required)

4. Procedures: outline of

strategies to meet the goals

5. Responsible Party: teams

and individuals involved and



and individuals involved and

their key tasks

6. Time Period: time period over which the policy applies

LEED-EBOM buildings must submit

for recertification at least once every 5

years to maintain their LEED-EBOMstatus.

Recertification Performance Period:For previously awarded credits and

LEED-EBOM Recertification


For previously awarded credits and

prerequisites, the performance period

begins right after initial certification.

For newly active credits, the period is

3-12 months, just like the initial

performance period.

Many of the LEED-EBOM credits require different submittals for initial certification and recertification.

For example, for recertification you may be able to submit a signed statement

be able to submit a signed statement declaring that there have been no changes to certain items.

Gold 51 – 67 points

LEED-EBOM Certification Levels


Silver 43 – 50 points

Certified 34 – 42 points




Training Agenda



Although a building does not need

LEED-NC certification to pursue

LEED-EBOM certification, a LEED-NC building may be easier to certify in EBOM because many

credits overlap.

LEED-EBOM and LEED-NC


credits overlap.

Some of the overlapping credits are

easier to implement during design

and construction. These credits are

identified in the LEED-NC reference

guide with the symbol shown here.

If a major renovation, alteration, or

retrofit exceeds 50% of the existing

square footage of the building, then

LEED EBOM should not be used.

LEED NC at this point becomes

more appropriate.
