The LEED Checklist helps project teams track progress toward LEED certification by organizing credits across all categories and calculating potential points.

Achieving LEED certification requires careful credit selection and documentation throughout the design and construction process. This interactive checklist helps teams identify targeted credits, track prerequisites, and monitor progress toward certification levels.

Select your rating system (BD+C, ID+C, or O+M) and mark credits as targeted, achieved, or not applicable. The calculator shows your certification level projection and identifies remaining opportunities.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

LEED certification levels: Certified 40-49 points, Silver 50-59 points, Gold 60-79 points, Platinum 80+ points. Total possible points vary by rating system but are typically around 110.

Prerequisites are required credits that must be achieved for any certification level—they don't earn points but are mandatory. Examples include minimum energy performance, fundamental commissioning, and construction waste management plans.

BD+C (Building Design and Construction) covers new construction and major renovations. ID+C (Interior Design and Construction) focuses on commercial interior tenant improvements and fit-outs.

Start with prerequisites and synergistic credits that align with project goals. Consider documentation complexity, cost, and team expertise. Many projects achieve 50-60% of targeted credits, so target more than your certification goal.
