OverviewOVERVIEW WHAT IS LEED? LEED EB O&M CASE STUDY ENERGY EFFICIENCY + CONSERVATION
What is LEED?
• Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
• Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)
• The most recognized and widely used certification program for sustainable buildings.
• Mission: To transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life.
OVERVIEW WHAT IS LEED? LEED EB O&M CASE STUDY ENERGY EFFICIENCY + CONSERVATION
• A program that awards points to a project for green development and construction features.
• Based on the number of credits achieved for each category, the project is then awarded a level of certification ranging from Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum
What is LEED?OVERVIEW WHAT IS LEED? LEED EB O&M CASE STUDY ENERGY EFFICIENCY + CONSERVATION
• Creates jobs
• Bring communities together
• Looks, feels, and operates great
• Live, work, and play in living buildings
• Improve the quality of life
• Reduces the impact of buildings on the earth
Why is LEED Important?OVERVIEW WHAT IS LEED? LEED EB O&M CASE STUDY ENERGY EFFICIENCY + CONSERVATION
LEED provides building owners and operators a concise framework for:
- Green Building Design
- Construction
- Operations and Maintenance
LEED FrameworkOVERVIEW WHAT IS LEED? LEED EB O&M CASE STUDY ENERGY EFFICIENCY + CONSERVATION
How it Works
Different rating systems for different types of projects:

• Integrated Energy Efficiency with Renewable Energies
OVERVIEW WHAT IS LEED? LEED EB O&M CASE STUDY ENERGY EFFICIENCY + CONSERVATION
Energy Efficiency & Conservation
• Transportation Sector: 20%
• Electric Power Sector: 30%
• Overall Energy Efficiency: 35%
• This means 65% energy is released to atmosphere in the form of heat!
• Pollutants released to atmosphere!
• Energy efficiency is long delayed solution to energy sustainability and global warming
Energy Efficiency by End-SectorOVERVIEW WHAT IS LEED? LEED EB O&M CASE STUDY ENERGY EFFICIENCY + CONSERVATION
• Commercial and Residential Buildings Use – 65% of total U.S. electricity consumption, – 39% of total primary energy use
• Main Electricity Consumption: – HVAC – lighting, – computers, – household appliances, – other equipment.
• 40% - 50% electricity usage for HVAC alone.

OVERVIEW WHAT IS LEED? LEED EB O&M CASE STUDY ENERGY EFFICIENCY + CONSERVATION
• Energy Conservation and Energy Efficiency - are keys for sustainability- can reduce global warming and air pollution- offers the quickest implementation and best payback.
CONCLUSIONS
• Renewable energy should be considered only after implementing all energy conservation measures in buildings.
OVERVIEW WHAT IS LEED? LEED EB O&M CASE STUDY ENERGY EFFICIENCY + CONSERVATION
“It may be called green building now, but it’s just the right way to build”
• LEED is the future of the building industry.
