LEED for Homes Multi-family Home Size Adjuster Calculator
This approach can be used to determine an overall home size adjuster for for multi-family buildings and attached townhomes, but it cannot be used to determine an overall home size adjuster for a complex with multiple multi-family buildings. If a project includes multiple multi-family buildings, each building must have its own home size adjustment. Please insert the # of units in each building, and the average square footage for units with the corresponding bedroom number. For example, if building 1 has three 2-bedroom units that are 1300, 1400, and 1500 square feet, insert "3" in cell G10 and "1400" in cell H10.

LEED for Homes Durability Guidelines

Introduction: These guidelines are provided as a tool to assist you in evaluating durability risks and implementing durability measures for your LEED Home. You should develop a program and set of durability measures that are specific to your project and location. The strategies listed in the following pages are intended only as guidance and may or may not be appropriate for a given home. This is not an exhaustive list of possibilities, nor is it intended to represent a set of strategies appropriate for any specific project. Additional and/or different strategies may be needed, depending on the home's location, details of construction, and anticipated occupant requirements. An effective durability management program will consider -- among other things -- the important interrelationships among energy, moisture, and air quality, and how those dynamics are addressed in other LEED for Homes credits that you may or may not pursue. Many of the credits in the LEED for Homes Rating System can serve as durability strategies, and may be used in the creation of a durability inspection checklist. If this is done, the home can still receive LEED points for those credits. The Durability Strategies page contains a list of resources you may find helpful for your durability management plan. It includes a list of durability measures that are required or rewarded in other green homebuilding programs.
Durability Evaluation Steps: 1. Collect site- and project-specific data on environmental conditions (outdoor and indoor) and occupancy and enter into the appropriate sections of the Durability Risk Evaluation Form. 2. If you have a quality management plan in place, review documents and records of callbacks, warranty claims, and litigation in order to identify recurring quality problems. 3. Identify issues of particular interest or concern, and include these in the Durability Risk Evaluation Form, which lists major issues for which durability management strategies typically are needed and provides space for others to be added. 4. Characterize the degree of risk (low, moderate, or high) for each of the issues listed. For each moderate and high risk issue, complete steps 5 through 8 below. 5. Ensure that the durability management plan includes a specific design and/or construction strategy. 6. Ensure that the strategy addresses each of the applicable building systems, assemblies, components, and areas, and that it addresses all connections, intersections, and interactions between and among them. 7. Ensure that each strategy is adequately drawn and/or described in the relevant project documents. Durability Inspection Checklist Steps: 1. Prior to construction, create a durability inspection checklist, listing the durability management measures to be incorporated in the home and noting where those measures appear in the project documents (drawings, specifications, scopes of work). Note that the Durability Inspection Checklist Template lists a sample strategy under each heading; these strategies are not intended to be universal, although some may apply to a variety of projects and sites. They are included for illustrative purposes only. 2. Use the durability inspection checklist to confirm that the measures shown in the project documents are incorporated in the home as drawn and/or specified. This should be done through the use of a quality management plan or on-site inspections by the builder team and check-off on the durability inspection checklist.
3. If the project is pursuing optional credit ID 2.3, have the third-party rater verify that the measures are incorporated into the home and complete the checklist.

Notes
Notes:
Many of the credits in the LEED for Homes Rating System can serve as durability strategies, and may be used in the creation of a durability inspection checklist. If this is done, the home can still receive LEED points for those credits. This page highlights various sample durability strategies. Many durability strategies are also addressed in other green building programs, such as those listed below. USGBC does not endorse or recommend any particular measure for any particular home.
Please see these programs for other ideas:

page includes a description of any changes that have been made to the LEED for Homes 2008 Checklist since its creation release in January 2008. document was last updated on July 15, 2008. Description of Changes Fixed the calculation in the multi-family home size calculator on the "MFHSA calc' tab. The previous calculator worked properly in calculating the Unit Adjustments, but it miscalculated the Overall Average Adjustments for any buildings with smaller-than-average units. Fixed the assessment of certified vs. not certified in the 'Checklist' tab. The previous calculation was based on inputs in the 'Exp Checklist' tab, so if a project team only filled out the 'Checklist' tab, the project was not shown as earn certification even if it met the necessary thresholds. On the Dur Risk Eval Form sheet, fixed the headings so if the project is a multi-family building, cell G11 shows "# of Units" instead of "# of Bedrooms". Changed the format of the cells for Project Team Leader, Green Rater, Provider Certifier, and the associated company names in the 'Exp Checklist' and 'Checklist' tabs so the cells shrink to fit longer names. Fixed the misspelling of 'prescriptive' on the Summary tab. Fixed the pull-down menu in MR 3.2 on the 'Exp Checklist' tab. It had previously included the option for '1.1.5' pts. On Accountability Form tab, fixed the form so the contact information for the team leader (cell J80) would show The LEED logo images were changed to a different format type, to prevent them from expanding when printed. Some parts of the checklist include unnecessary rounding, particularly in the energy calculation in EA 1 and the multi-family home size adjustment calculation. These values now show the extra digit so any rounding is not On the Summary page, included an automatic calculation for average # of bedrooms and average square footage for multi-family buildings, based on the inputs in the MF HAS calc page. Included definitions for project type and building type on the Summary page. Included a new page of sample durability strategies. Updated footnotes on various pages so there are no references to Version 1.11. Corrected the Accountability Form page so SS 4.3 appears, as appropriate. Included space on the Expanded Checklist for information about "date last updated" and "last updated by". Changed the name Checklist to Simplified Checklist and change the name Expanded Checklist to Checklist. Created a Field Checklist tab with a flexible checklist for field verification. On Accountability Form tab, removed the option to hide credits that were not being pursued by the project team. Column A now shows whether the project team is planning to pursue a credit or not, but all credits are visible at Linked the Simple Checklist tab with the Checklist tab so that when the Checklist is filled out, the Simple Checklist is automatically filled also. Removed the signature information from the bottom of the Simplified Checklist. This document can no longer be submitted for certification. The full Checklist (formerly the Expanded Checklist) must be submitted now. On Simple Checklist tab, rearranged the columns so they are shown as "Yes / Pts", "Maybe", "No". Previously, "No" was in between "Yes / Pts" and "Maybe". Also, colored "Maybe" and "No" columns gray. On Summary tab, changed the statement at the bottom. Since Providers will not be certifying projects, this statement now reads that the Provider is recommending that the project is ready for certification. On Checklist tab, changed the warning about minimum credit category point thresholds. No message shows up if the minimum point thresholds are met for the final rating, even if the preliminary rating values are below the On Checklist tab, updated the "Project Notes" section in columns X through AE so more information could be Unlocked the Durability Strategies sheet to enable the measures to be copied into the durability inspection On the Simplified Checklist sheet, reorganized the columns for preliminary rating and final rating so it mirrors the layout in the Checklist. On the Simplified Checklist sheet, reorganized the top of the checklist to mirror the layout in the Checklist sheet, so preliminary and final points are both displayed, and errors are identified if the project falls short on minimum On the Checklist sheet, added a checkbox under MR 2.2 for Adhesives and Sealants under Low Emissions.
On the Checklist sheet, under SS 4.1 added "other impermeable surfaces". This cell is now calculated so the total of "vegetative landscape", "permeable paving", impermeable surfaces directed to on-site infiltration features", and "other impermeable surfaces" adds up to 100%. On the Summary sheet, added input for "Project name". On the Checklist sheet, added note to ID 1.3 to indicate that this credit is not available until a credentialed position
