When we last sat down to look at the points for Lake Claire LEED on the LEED for Homes worksheet we added them up and it looked like we should get at least LEED Gold which is very good! However, we reviewed a couple of areas with the homeowners last week and it looks like Platinum is a possibility. The house was going to be very efficient so there was not much more that we could do there, so we looked to the landscaping. Since we are looking to use native plants, rain harvesting, and smart planting we should get enough points in Site Development to push us into the Platinum point range.
Towards the end of the project, we will post the complete point sheet so we can see how we managed the project to be more sustainable.
