LEED Profiles

LEED offers a number of example profiles.  These profiles are broken up into the following categories:
1) New Construction
2) Existing Buildings
3) Commercial Interiors
4) Core & Shell
5) Schools
6) Homes
7) Retail
8) Neighborhood Development

All of the categories are fairly self explanatory except for Core & Shell.  According to the LEED website, Core & Shell "covers base building elements such as structure, envelope and the HVAC system".


One of the example profiles listed under Retail was a Chipole Mexican Grill in Gurnee Mills, IL.  The project achieved a platinum rating by receiving an overall score of 53 out of a possible 71 points.  For a more broken down score, see the image below.  This project received LEED certification by building a wind turbine and using the energy for lighting, installing a rain water cistern for the reduction of water use, and installing a program to automatically manage the lights and turn them off when not needed.
