  Sure, we might be getting a little liberal with LEED, it is after all what everyone wants. This is exactly why they’ve moved to a new version that mandates energy reporting. As this begins to be instituted, there will undoubtedly be lots of questions and probably more naysayers, but they have responded appropriately to their critics with this move to measure performance. We should be encouraged, as this is another step toward greater benefits for the environment. To support USGBC’s efforts and other organizations with similar goals, we’ve created an open industry association called the EMerge Alliance that promotes the rapid adoption of safe, low voltage DC power distribution and use in commercial buildings through the development of a standard that is focused on the performance of the building. Emerging technologies like solar and win already produce DC energy. We’re trying to make it possible to use this energy more directly within buildings without converting it to AC, ultimately reducing energy loss.On Are developers making mis-LEED-ing claims? posted 4 months, 3 weeks ago 8 Responses
