PART 1: OVERVIEW

LAWA has identified incorporating sustainable design and construction

practices as one key sustainability principle. The complete Sustainability
Vision and Principles statement is included on the following page.

1.5 Purpose of LSAG

LSAG demonstrates LAWAs commitment to sustainability. It gives struc-
ture to LAWAs commitment by communicating expectations and provid-
ing a tool for tracking and reporting its sustainability measures related to
planning, design and construction of LAWAs property. Moreover, LSAG
facilitates LAWA staff, executive management, designers, architects, and
contractors to consider sustainable project elements at a projects earliest
stage to capitalize cost savings and sustainability benefits to achieve a
more sustainable Los Angeles.

1.6 Defining Sustainability

Defining what sustainability means to LAWA was a critical first step
toward further implementing sustainability as a key measure in the over-
all success of a LAWA project. In 1983, the Brundtland Commission
defined sustainable development as development that meets the needs
of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs. The Brundtland Commission, also known as the
World Commission on Environment and Development was convened
by the United Nations (UN) in 1983. The UN created the commission to
address a growing concern about the accelerating deterioration of the
human environment and natural resources and the consequences
of that deterioration for economic and social development.1 In
establishing the commission, the UN General Assembly rec-
ognized that environmental problems were global in nature
and determined that it was in the common interest of
nations to establish policies for sustainable development.
The earth has a finite amount of resources and, with
the exponential growth in the worlds population, there
is a need for global management of these resources to
ensure that future generations have what they need.

Since the Brundtland Commission, the definition of sus-

tainability has been refined with the growing understanding
of the subject. LAWA considered the following definition to
initially guide its sustainability program.

The Triple Bottom Line

LAWA employs the Triple
Bottom Line approach to find In 1994, John Elkington coined the phrase The Triple Bottom Line
integrated solutions and improve

(TBL) to describe a foundational approach to sustainability. The TBL
has since become a widely accepted framework for sustainability

equipment and structures). concepts included in the
LEED rating systems
LAWA encourages Project Delivery Teams to incorporate whole-life cost can also be applied to
analysis and life-cycle analysis (LCA) in the design and construction of a non-building projects
project. A whole life cost analysis examines the total cost of ownership and are thus included in
over the life of an asset. This analysis fits in with LAWAs sustainability LSAG. LSAG is intended
goals since the analysis includes construction, operations, maintenance to go beyond LEED
and other costs. The goal of an LCA also fits perfectly with LAWAs and provide a set of
goals since an LCA compares the full range of environmental and social performance standards
damages assignable to a product or project so that the Project Delivery and a rating system for
Team can make an informed choice on the selection of a design element, both building and non-
a piece of equipment or construction practice. building airport projects.

1.7 Development of LSAG

LSAG goes beyond LEED and provides a set of performance standards
and a rating system for both horizontal and vertical airport projects. LSAG
is a compilation of sustainable planning, design and construction practices
that meet the unique circumstances and needs of an airport.

LSAG builds upon the United States Green Building Councils (USGBCs)
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating systems
for buildings, which were created to guide the development of high perfor-
mance, healthy, durable, affordable and environmentally sound buildings.
The LEED rating systems also are used to certify the design, construction
and renovation of a building as green. While airports can achieve LEED
certification for their buildings, these types of projects typically comprise a
small percentage of design and construction activities that take place on
airport properties. Some of the sustainability concepts included in the LEED
rating systems can also be applied to non-building projects (i.e. runways
and other horizontal projects) and are thus included in these Guidelines.

Because of the overlap between LSAG and the USGBCs LEED rating
systems for buildings, building projects are recommended to achieve
LEED certification. All building projects on LAWA property are encour-
aged to achieve LEED Silver certification. Indeed, some building projects
may be required to achieve LEED or another green certifications based on
existing building codes. Although projects that achieve LEED certification
do not need to adhere to the Sustainable PD performance standards, these
projects are recommended to adhere to Sustainable CN performance
standards and achieve a LAWA Sustainable Construction Level.

Separate LAWA Sustainable Levels for PD and CN will be awarded upon

completion of the project. Application of the Rating System, and the number
of points required for each level of certification, is based on the size and type
(category) of the project and whether it includes the construction of a new
building or the reconstruction or interior renovation of an existing building.

1.9 Regulatory Requirements
The planning, design and construction of buildings and infrastructure at
airports are subject to local, state and federal regulations. LSAG is meant
to supplement LAWAs existing regulatory and code requirements (such
as federal, state or local regulatory agencies). LSAG does not supersede
existing standards, regulations, or codes currently in place or adopted
by the State of California, City of Los Angeles, other cities or LAWA and
its tenants.

1.10 Using LSAG during Planning, Design

and Construction
The Project Delivery Team and other interested stakeholders should
consider the contents of LSAG in the earliest project stage, including the
development of the project description and scope. Oftentimes, the Airport
Master Planning level is the earliest stage of many projects; therefore,
LSAG should be consulted at the onset of an Airport Master Plan Update
and integrated throughout the entire master planning process. A fundamen-
tal belief underlying LSAG is that an integrated design process will enable
LAWA to achieve thoughtful, sustainable planning, design and construction
efforts with limited impact to a traditional schedule or budget.

1.11 Summary
LAWA intends to meet its commitment to become the global leader in
airport sustainability through building and being held to the highest green
standards. To assist in meeting this intent, LSAG has been developed.
LSAG includes performance standards that will assist project teams in
selecting, executing and measuring sustainability concepts that are incor-
porated into each project. LSAG is intended to provide a foundation for
sustainable practices, enhance awareness, drive innovation and create
flexibility for users to develop pioneering solutions through the inclusion
of sustainable practices into every phase of its projects.

PART 2:
Implementation of LSAG

2.1 Introduction
This section provides information to assist the Project Delivery Team in Global Leader in
achieving the highest LAWA-Sustainable level possible for each project.
LSAG often references LEED documents and tables; therefore, it is
expected that a project team member will be familiar with LEED stan-
dards or is a LEED Accredited Professional to assist in navigating the
project through LSAG.

2.2 Applicability of Lsag

The following categories of projects may be evaluated for sustainability:
Vertical & Horizontal Projects on LAWA properties
LAWA, Tenant and Concessionaire Projects on LAWA properties

Projects being evaluated for sustainability first need to determine whether

LEED applies. Both the City of Los Angeles and California have man-
datory and voluntary green code standards. The Project Delivery Team
should ensure that they are meeting the established green standards.
However, if LEED or another green standard does not apply to the project,
the project will be reviewed under LSAG. Projects that may be reviewed
under LSAG include:
Projects that involve a certified design (Use both Sustainable
Planning and Design and Sustainable Construction Checklists
(Parts 4 and 5)). These may include, but are not limited to: new
construction, rehabilitation of interior or exterior buildings and civil
projects such as roadways, runways and taxiways.
Construction and Maintenance projects that do not involve a certified
design (Use the Sustainable Construction Checklist (Part 5)). These
projects may include, but are not limited to equipment upgrades,
replacements of windows, equipment, carpeting, kiosks or painting.

2.3 Implementation of LSAG

If the project has a certified design, the following process as outlined in
2.3.1 is recommended for the successful implementation of LSAG. For
projects that do not have a certified design, Section 2.3.2 outlines the
construction process for the project. Figures 1 and 2 outline the steps for
the planning and design and the construction stages of the project.

2.3.1 Certified Design Projects

The following steps should be followed for Certified Design Projects:

1. Identify the Project Delivery Team. In the earliest stage of project,

specifically during the development of project definition and scope, the

Construction goals.
Determine whether the project will be evaluated as a LEED or LSAG
project. LAWA encourages all building and building renovations proj-
ects to meet LEED or other state or local-approved green certification
standards. The Project Delivery Team must submit the certification
to Environmental Services Division when received for project. LAWA
encourages all projects achieve the highest level of sustainability.
If the Project Delivery Team needs to consult with the Environmental
Services Division (ESD) to determine applicability to LSAG, they should
contact them at this point in the design. These projects then proceed
to Part 2.3.2.

2. Determine the LAWA certification level goal. For LSAG projects,

LAWA encourages that projects achieve the highest level of sustain-
ability. The Project Deliver Team needs to evaluate the LAWA-Sus-
tainable Checklist and determine which LSAG level is most appropri-
ate (Section 2.4 LSAG Sustainability levels). To assist in setting
and measuring progress toward the project, the Checklists should be
used at project kick-off to identify and record the sustainability goals
and selected technical strategies for the project.
Balance the sustainability goals and strategies with planning, design
and construction requirements to find integrated solutions, not tradeoffs
or compromises, to conflicts that may arise.

3. Consult with Environmental Services Division (ESD). Discuss the

project scope with ESD staff to gain concurrence on LSAG Sus-
tainability Level. During your discussion with ESD, determine the
appropriate interval for submitting progress information. The Project
Delivery Team may deem that quarterly submittals are appropriate,
however if the project is fast-paced, a submittal schedule based on
milestones may be a better fit.
4. Submit progress checklists with appropriate documentation on a
predetermined interval (see step 3). Each submittal should include
the following information:
a. Sustainable PD Checklist. The Checklist should be used to track
progress in achieving the sustainability goals. The Checklist sum-
marizes the performance standards, which have corresponding
point allocations regarding achievement.
b. Certification Statements of completed Performance Standards,
if applicable.

-- Update on project status what has changed, deadlines, etc.

-- Intended Sustainability Level

-- Track progress what PSs have been met, can be met, cannot

It is the responsibility of the Project Delivery Team to update this infor-

mation and provide it to ESD. ESD will then review the information,
provide concurrence that a certain Performance Standard has been
completed, advise on what else may be provided as documentation
or request additional information. ESD may also waive certain require-
ments depending on project-specific circumstances. In some instances,
ESD may consult with LAWAs Guidelines Oversight Committee.

Following the initial project evaluation, continued review of LSAG

throughout the planning, design and construction stages will help to
ensure that the sustainability goals are met as the project progresses.
This step will be followed until the completion of the planning and design
phase of the project.

5. Upon completion of the planning and design phase of the project, the
final checklist must be signed and submitted. Any additional docu-
mentation such as follow-up requirements and signed Certification
Statements must be submitted. ESD will complete its final evalua-
tion of this project phase and determine or confirm the Sustainability
level.
2.3.2 Construction Projects
All projects are encouraged to follow the Construction (CN) process. The
following steps should be followed:

1. Identify the Project Delivery Team. In the earliest stage of project,

specifically during the development of project definition and scope,
the Project Delivery Team and other interested stakeholders should
consider the contents of LSAG. A fundamental belief underlying
LSAG is that an integrated process will enable LAWA, tenants and
concessionaires to achieve thoughtful, sustainable construction
efforts with limited impact to the budget and schedule. If the project
was a certified design project, the Project Delivery Team for this
phase may be different.
2. Determine the certification level goal. Establishing sustainability
goals for the project at the earliest stage by engaging members of
the Project Delivery Team as well as other interested stakeholders

as appropriate, including construction, maintenance and operation

teams, users of the final project, members of other LAWA projects
that may be impacted or interested in collaboration on construction
aspects, City officials, tenants and community participants.
3. Determine the level goal. Establish sustainability goals for the project
at the earliest stage by engaging members of the Project Delivery
Team as well as other interested stakeholders as appropriate, includ-
ing maintenance and operation teams, users of the final project,
members of other LAWA projects that may be impacted or interested
in collaboration on construction aspects, City officials, tenants and
community participants.
LAWA encourages that projects achieve the highest level of sustainabil-
ity. The Project Delivery Team needs to evaluate the LAWA-Sustainable
Checklist and determine which LSAG level is most appropriate (Section
2.4 LSAG Sustainability levels). To assist in setting and measuring
progress toward the project the Checklist should be used at project
kick-off to identify and record the sustainability goals and selected
technical strategies for the project.

4. Consult with Environmental Services Division (ESD). Discuss the

project scope with ESD staff to gain concurrence on the Sustainabil-
ity level. During your discussion with ESD, determine the appropri-
ate interval for submitting progress information. The Project Team
may deem that quarterly submittals are appropriate; however, if the
project is fast-paced, a submittal schedule based on milestones may
be a better fit.
5. Submit progress checklist with appropriate documentation on a pre-
determined interval (see step 4). Each submittal should include the
following information:
a. Sustainable CN Checklist. The Checklist should be used to track
progress in achieving the sustainability goals. The Checklist sum-
marizes the performance standards, which have corresponding
point allocations regarding achievement.

tion such as follow-up requirements and signed Certification State-
ments must be submitted. ESD will complete its final evaluation of
this project phase and determine or confirm the Sustainability level.
7. Certification Level is awarded upon completion of the construction
phase or any required follow-up whichever is later.
8. LAWA will certify and designate the Sustainability Level for CN &
PD for the project. If the project achieved LEED Certification from
USGBC, then LAWA will designate the Sustainability Level only for
the CN level.
2.4 The LAWA-Sustainable Rating System
LSAG incorporates the LAWA-Sustainable Rating System, which is
used to measure the level of achievement of the sustainable planning
and design and construction performance standards. As part of the rating
system, LAWA encourages all building and renovation projects to evaluate
the feasibility of achieving the highest LEED standard. For planning and
design phase, Planning and Design Points (DPs) are awarded. Similarly,
for construction, Construction Points (CPs) are awarded. For each per-
formance standard that is achieved, an allocation of LAWA-Sustainable
Points (DPs or CPs) will be awarded. Separate LAWA Sustainable
Levels for PD and CN will be awarded upon completion of the project.
Application of the Rating System, and the number of points required for
each level of certification, is based on the category (size and type) of the
project and whether it includes the construction of a new building or the
reconstruction or interior renovation of an existing building.

Three sustainable levels for achieving LAWA-Sustainable certification for

both PD and CN phases are described below:
LAWA Sustainable
Business Class
First Class

Version 5.0,February 2010
PART 2: Implementation of LSAG

As smaller projects may have fewer opportunities to employ the full range
of sustainable concepts provided in LSAG, the points required to meet
each level of certification are adjusted accordingly. It should be noted that
the Sustainable Construction Project certification applies even to those
projects which are unable to achieve a sufficient number of DPs to attain
the LAWA Sustainable Project certification.

Projects Greater than 1,000 ft2

The following projects that are not receiving LEED certification will be
evaluated under this category:

New Buildings/Facilities

Interior Renovations

Restaurants that prepare food on-site

Version 5.0, February 2010
PART 3: Structure of LSAG

3.2 Structure of the

Performance Standards
LSAG contains performance standards for planning, design and construc-
tion. Each performance standard is divided into six or seven sections:
1. Intent
2. Point Allocation
3. Benefits
4. Actions & Targets
5. Documentation
6. Technical Approaches
7. Acknowledgements (as needed)
Intent - The primary motivation for implementing the sustainability perfor-
mance standard. The most sustainable projects will be planned, designed
and built around the intent of the performance standard rather than
focusing on the number of points that can be achieved. While not all per-
formance standards will be applicable to every project, Project Delivery
Teams are encouraged to think creatively and to consider the intent of
each performance standard and whether that intent can be achieved as
part of the planning, design and construction phases.

Point Allocation The section identifies the total maximum number of

points available. In some instances, points are allocated according to a
schedule of achievement.

Benefits - The potential environmental, economic and social benefits

resulting from the implementation of each performance standard also
serve as motivation for incorporating sustainable planning, design and
construction practices into projects.

Actions & Targets - This section outlines the activities, metrics and targets
that are required to achieve the points associated with the performance
standard. In many cases, targets will dictate the incremental performance
improvement over a baseline or a quantifiable number or percentage that
must be achieved (e.g. achieve a 75% recycling rate during construction). In other
cases, achievement of the performance standard will be measured on a scale
by the accomplishment of a specific milestone or task (e.g. develop an Energy
Management Plan).

Documentation - This section outlines the documentation that is required

to achieve the LAWA-Sustainable Point(s).

Technical Approaches - Technical approaches are suggestions or strate-

gies to achieve the requirements of the performance standard. Users of

Los Angeles World Airports

3-2 Sustainable Airport Planning, Design and Construction Guidelines
Version 5.0, February 2010
PART 3: Structure of LSAG

LSAG may choose additional technical approaches that are not listed, but
they must meet or exceed the intent, actions and targets and documenta-
tion sections included in the performance standard.

Acknowledgements - For performance standards that cite detailed

requirements from specific references, these references are noted.

3.3 Documentation References

Throughout the performance standards there are references to other
documents, including tables, regulations, and performance standards by
others. In the spirit of sustainability, the details of those references are
maintained in the Addendum in order to minimize the number of revisions
to the entirety of LSAG in the future, as references may change. It is the
responsibility of the designated professional responsible to execute and
implement LSAG to ensure that the most recent version of the addendum
is referred to. Updated addenda will be available through LAWA.

3.4 Additional Information

Your LAWA Project Manager will be your primary contact for questions
regarding the implementation of LSAG. If the Project Delivery Team has

Y (yes) Land Use and related structures compatible without restrictions.

N (No) Land Use and related structures are not compatible and should be prohibited.

NLR Noise Level Reduction (outdoor to indoor) to be achieved through incorporation of noise attenuation into the
design and construction of the structure.
25, 30 Land Use and related structures generally compatible; measures to achieve NLR of 25, 30 or 35 dB must be
or 35 incorporated into design and construction of structure.
Notes to Table 1
(1) Where the community determines that residential or school uses must be allowed, measures to achieve out-
door to indoor Noise Level Reduction (NLR) of at least 25 dB and 30 dB should be incorporated into building
codes and be considered in individual approvals. Normal residential construction can be expected to provide
a NLR of 20 dB, thus, the reduction requirements are often stated at 5, 10 or 15 dB over standard construc-
tion and normally assume mechanical ventilation and closed windows year round. However, the use of NLR
criteria will not eliminate outdoor noise problems.
(2) Measures to achieve NLR of 25 dB must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions of
these buildings where the public is received, office areas, noise sensitive areas or where the normal noise
level is low.
(3) Measures to achieve NLR of 30 dB must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions of
these buildings where the public is received, office areas, noise sensitive areas or where the normal noise
level is low.
(4) Measures to achieve NLR of 35 dB must be incorporated into the design and construction of portions of
these buildings where the public is received, office areas, noise sensitive areas or where the normal noise
level is low.
(5) Land use compatible provided special sound reinforcement systems are installed.

(6) Residential buildings require an NLR of 25.

(7) Residential buildings require an NLR of 30.

(8) Residential buildings not permitted.

The designations contained in this table do not constitute a Federal determination that the use of land covered by the
program is acceptable or unacceptable under Federal, State or local law. The responsibility for determining the accept-
able and permissible land uses and the relationship between specific properties and specific noise contours rests with
the local authorities. FAA determinations under Part 150 are not intended to substitute Federally determined land uses
for those determined to be appropriate by local authorities in response to locally determined needs and values in achiev-
ing noise compatible land uses.

locations; AND
Provide sufficient advance notification to the local community about upcoming lane closures.

TECHNICAL APPROACHES
Plan a problem-free traffic control system for the area through timely and frequent communication between
the Contractors and the Construction Coordination Office.
Emphasize the importance of managing the traffic. This should be considered as early in the project
planning process as is feasible.
Communication and the flow of information for traffic control should be unrestricted between the
Contractor(s), the Construction Coordination Office and the public.
