LEED® Certification :- Scoring Points

How ClimateMaster’s EarthPure™ R-410A heat pumps fit into the LEED program

What is LEED?

• LEED = Leadership in Energy and

Environmental Design– Developed by USGBC (U.S. Green Building

Council) in conjunction with• DOE• EPA• GSA (U.S. General Services Administration)• Air Force, Army, Navy • States of CA, CT, IL, ME, MD, MA, MI, NJ, NY, OR, PA

Why LEED?

• Annual Building consumption– 30% of the total energy– 60% of the electricity– 5 billion gallons of potable water used to flush

toilets every day

• Sustainable Design• Responsibility towards our environment

Goals and Benefits

• The goals of the LEED program include– Reduced or neutralized first costs– Enhanced asset value/increased profits– Optimized life cycle economic performance

• Economic benefits include– Improved productivity – Reduced liability

Why Does It Matter?• Some states and cities offer tax incentives for

buildings that meet green building codes or become LEED certified.

• GSA new building projects must meet LEED certification requirements

• New York was the first state to implement a green building tax program– Up to $3.75 per square foot for interior work and– Up to $7.50 per square foot for exterior work against their

state tax bill

Why Does It Matter?• Cook County, IL requires new county facilities to

meet LEED Silver certification• Maryland has implemented a green building tax credit

and requires state buildings to meet LEED standards• Portland created a tailored version of LEED for city

funded buildings• Seattle sets a LEED Silver level rating for city funded

projects

Why Does It Matter? Case Studies

• Energy efficiency measures in a Denver dry goods building --- Reduced Operating expenses - $75000

• Students in day-lit schools in North Carolina consistently score higher in tests compared to students in schools using conventional fixtures

• Productivity gains of workers by a US Survey - 16%• Grocery store- Spokane, Washington, Waste

management costs - 56%

LEED Certifications• LEED-NC (new construction – commercial)

– Complete and has been in use for four years

• LEED-CI (commercial interiors)• LEED-EB (existing buildings)• LEED-CS (core and shell – commercial)• LEED-H (single family residential)-PILOT • LEED-ND (residential neighborhood)

In development

LEED-NC• Seven prerequisites ...

– Sediment and erosion control– Minimum energy performance (ASHRAE 90.1)– Fundamental commissioning– CFC reduction– Storage of recyclable– Minimum IAQ performance (ASHRAE 62)– Environmental tobacco smoke control

LEED-NC• Five basic categories for design points …

– Sustainable sites - 14 – Water efficiency - 5 – Energy and atmosphere* - 17– Materials and resources - 13 – Indoor environmental quality* 15

Other LEED points

• Additional commissioning– 3rd party verification (1 point)

• Measurement and Verification– 1 point for monitoring optimization of building

energy and water consumption►DDC controls

• Ozone depletion– 1 point for systems without HCFCs

►Tranquility 27 & 20 use HFC-410A►LEED Refrigerant Calculator

Understanding ODP and GWP

• ODP :- Ozone Depletion Potential• GWP:- Global Warming Potential

Enhanced Refrigerant Management

• LEED 2.1 -- HFC’s Mandatory• LEED 2.2 -- Mix of HCFC and HFC based

equipment allowed

• Is my Building/Job eligible for EA Credit 4????

Example :- Total number of units :-100 70 Units use HFC’s, 30 Units use HCFC’s SOLUTION :- CLIMATEMASTER LEED REFRIGERANT CALCULATOR

Other LEED points

• IEQ (Indoor Environmental Quality)– 1 point: Provide IAQ monitoring via CO2 sensor

►CO2 sensor for each ClimateMaster Rx system
