LEED Rating System

At Pine Cone New World, we treat sustainability and accessibility as core components of every development strategy. This service tracks and manages LEED rating opportunities and accessibility goals at critical milestones throughout the project lifecycle. Using a structured LEED rating sheet, we calculate and update projected certification points at each design and construction stage, identifying risks, opportunities, and value decisions that affect environmental performance and long-term market position. This ensures that projects remain aligned with sustainability goals, regulatory expectations, and future operating efficiencies without compromising profitability.

LEED & Accessibility Oversight by Stage

(1) Schematic Design: Preliminary LEED point calculation, Climate Action Plan review, and accessibility integration recommendations.
(2) Design Development: Updated LEED score estimate, sustainability modeling, and materials and systems strategy alignment.
(3) Construction: Monitor LEED documentation, construction-phase testing milestones, and sustainable materials tracking.
(4) Post-Construction: Final LEED commissioning review support and coordination for project certification submission.

This process ensures environmental and accessibility targets are proactively managed, with clear deliverables and accountability at every stage.

To begin your LEED review with Pine Cone, submit essential project details including site address, gross building size, unit count, planned amenities, concept or schematic designs, and your targeted LEED certification level or sustainability goals. If applicable, include any specific accessibility priorities to be integrated. Using this information, we’ll assess your project through our LEED rating sheet, calculate point potential, and identify opportunities and requirements at each stage. Missing details will be supplemented with baseline LEED standards. Once received, we’ll schedule a review to discuss your project’s certification outlook and next steps.
