Having a good construction waste management plan is the first step towards earning MRc5 Construction Waste Management in LEED v4.1. First of all, it is required for the pre-requisite under MRp2 to have a construction waste management plan.

Developing and implementing an indoor air quality (IAQ) management plan for the construction and preoccupancy phases of the building is required to earn the IEQc3 credit – and this template is a great place to start!

There is no industry standard for LEED submittal cover sheets. You can create your own, see if anyone on your project team has a standard template – or you can download our free submittal cover sheet template for submitting your LEED v4.1 product data.

During construction, various materials and processes can introduce airborne pollutants such as dust, particulates, and off-gassing from building materials. Implementing flushing out procedures during this phase helps to mitigate the accumulation of these pollutants, ensuring that the indoor environment remains healthier and more comfortable for both construction workers and future occupants.

Benchmarking is a critical part of implementing ESG in your organization, because you need to know where you are before you can determine where you need to go. We’ve all heard the phrase, “you can’t manage what you don’t measure” and that is absolutely the case when it comes to ESG.

To make your construction business shine, you gotta know what these submittals are, why they matter, the basics of a good template, what goes into them, and how to make the whole process easier.
