In which credit category does the Construction Activity Pollution Prevention fall under?

Construction Activity Pollution Prevention is categorized under the Sustainable Sites (SS) prerequisites in the LEED BD+C V4 rating system. This prerequisite is crucial as it addresses the need to minimize pollution and prevent adverse environmental impacts throughout the construction process. By requiring a plan to manage pollutants that may result from construction activities, it helps protect air and water quality, thereby fostering sustainable development practices.

This emphasis on minimizing pollution is a part of the broader objectives of the Sustainable Sites category, which seeks to enhance the environmental and ecological performance of the site during and post-construction. Other categories, such as Location and Transportation, Energy and Atmosphere, and Materials and Resources, have different focuses and do not directly address construction site pollution management as its main objective. Therefore, this prerequisite is specifically aligned with the goals under the Sustainable Sites category.
