## Summary {#summary .SECTION1.01}

A.  Section Includes: This Section includes general requirements and
    procedures for compliance with certain U.S. Green Building
    Council\'s (USGBC) [Leadership in Energy and Environmental
    Design]{.underline} (LEED) prerequisites and credits needed for the
    Project to obtain LEED \[**Certified**\] \[**Silver**\] \[**Gold**\]
    \[**Platinum**\] certification.

    1.  Other LEED prerequisites and credits needed to obtain LEED
        certification are dependent on material selections and may not
        be specifically identified as LEED requirements. Compliance with
        requirements needed to obtain LEED prerequisites and credits may
        be used as one criterion to evaluate substitution requests.

    2.  Additional LEED prerequisites and credits needed to obtain the
        indicated LEED certification are dependent on the Architect\'s
        design and other aspects of the Project that are not part of the
        Work of the Contract.

B.  Related Sections: Refer to the following sections for related work:

    1.  Divisions 1 through 16 Sections for LEED requirements specific
        to the Work of each of those Sections. These requirements may or
