Broadly defined, core and shell construction covers base building elements, such as the structure, envelope and building-level systems, such as central HVAC, etc. The CS product recognizes that the division between owner and tenant responsibility for certain elements of the building varies between markets. LEED Core and Shell will be used to evaluate building projects where the owner does not control the interior design and fit-out. It is not available for use as an option for those owners who wish to achieve exemplary performance in the Core and Shell while failing to meet LEED standards in the building interiors fit out. Those owners who have control over both the core and shell and interiors elements will need to apply under LEED for New Construction. The LEED-CS Rating System is currently being pilot tested by over 75 core and shell project teams. USGBC is currently accepting LEED-CS pilot applications to join the high profile list of buildings currently participating in the pilot. Pilot projects are provided access to draft credit language, pilot specific credit interpretations and are the first group asked to provide feedback on rating system evolution. Pilot testing of LEED Rating Systems allows USGBC the opportunity to test various aspects of the pilot version of the LEED-CS Rating System. By implementing LEED-CS, pilot projects are able to provide constructive criticism and feedback on credit achievement thresholds, specific market sector nuances and documentation. To submit a project for pilot consideration, please complete the LEED-CS Expression of Interest Form and email a detailed project description to cs@committees.usgbc.org.

While the market traction LEED is gaining in these sectors is significant, a significant market sector has been left unserved. Buildings where the owner (applicant) only controls the ‘”core and shell” of the building pose unique challenges to project teams applying one of the existing LEED Rating Systems. A review of the projects that have applied or been granted LEED certification, illustrates the difficulties encountered when the current LEED Rating System is applied to core and shell development. In a very real sense, this market is the mirror image of that served by the new LEED Commercial Interiors product. As with the LEED-CI product, LEED Core and Shell aims to evaluate design and construction projects only by the performance of those aspects of the project that the Owner controls. In assessing this potential market, USGBC has become aware that the criteria and desired timing of certification for the potential Core and Shell applicant may be significantly different than that for the typical LEED applicant. Most of the buildings that will qualify for consideration under LEED Core and Shell will be designed and, sometimes built, speculatively, without a specific tenant commitment. For the Core and Shell developer to gain market advantage from their LEED initiatives, they must be able to use their LEED-CS designation as part of this differentiation. LEED-CS responds to this need by allowing for “pre-certification” prior to the construction of the building. This is essentially a statement from the developer saying, “I intend to complete the building with these features and at this level of performance”, and a parallel statement from the USGBC saying, “If you build the building that you have proposed and document the measures taken, you will be granted a LEED-CS certification at this level”. With this distinction, the developer can market high performance sustainable design with a higher level of credibility, while supporting and spreading the LEED brand. The rigor of the LEED Rating System is maintained by a thorough review of the LEED-CS documentation upon completion of construction, and if the building satisfies the LEED-CS criteria, official certification of the building as a LEED-CS Rated building.U.S. Green Building CouncilAbout USGBC| Policies & Guidelines|Frequently Asked Questions|ContactCopyright © 2008 U.S. Green Building Council.
