How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter points earned in each LEED credit category: Location & Transportation, Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency.
  2. Enter points for Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, and Indoor Environmental Quality.
  3. Enter combined Innovation and Regional Priority points.
  4. Review Total LEED Points and Percent of Maximum to see your certification standing.
  5. Check Certification Level (Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum) and Points to Next Level.

What each input means

Location & Transportation
Points earned in LT credits (max 16). Covers transit access, bicycle facilities, reduced parking, etc.
Sustainable Sites
Points earned in SS credits (max 10). Site assessment, open space, rainwater management, heat island reduction.
Water Efficiency
Points earned in WE credits (max 11). Outdoor/indoor water use reduction, cooling tower water use, metering.
Energy & Atmosphere
Points earned in EA credits (max 33). Optimize energy performance, renewables, commissioning, metering.
Materials & Resources
Points earned in MR credits (max 13). EPDs, sourcing of raw materials, material ingredients, C&D waste.
Indoor Environmental Quality
Points earned in EQ credits (max 16). Low-emitting materials, IAQ assessment, thermal comfort, daylight.
Innovation + Regional Priority

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Location & Transportation = 8, Sustainable Sites = 5, Water Efficiency = 6, Energy & Atmosphere = 18 = 7 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Total LEED Points
    Total LEED Points
    54 = 54
  3. Calculate Percent of Maximum
    Percent of Maximum
    49.09 = 49.09%
  4. Calculate Certification Level
    2 = 2
