community members, neighbors,
y g

Direct and Indirect Impacts
LEED encourages consideration of both direct and indirect
environmental impacts
Direct I
Di t Impact Examples:
tE l
CFC-based refrigerant leakage from HVAC stratospheric O3 depletion
Construction activity erosion + sedimentation in nearby streams
Indirect Impact Examples:
Selecting propane or H2O refrigerant reduces ozone depletion, but
increases HVAC equipment size and therefore requires more electricity
from an off site coal plant, emitting additional greenhouse gases
off-site plant
Purchase of non-FSC® wood products may promote deforestation
