Abstract
This chapter analyses the activities and structures of the building with the aim of identifying the possible contribution that they can make to satisfying credit criteria under the LEED® certification. The structures analysed are the opaque building envelope, the transparent envelope and related facilities, whilst activities considered are those regarding commissioning and water management. Once the applicable retrofit measures are identified, these are then cross-referenced with LEED® credits in order to evaluate the improvement in sustainability of the building.
