Earning LEED points with enVerid

The U.S. Green Building Council sets a high bar for sustainability. The USGBC LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification program helps organizations plan and build green buildings and measures and assess the success of green building projects. This certification program also recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices.
To receive LEED certification, building projects need to satisfy green building prerequisites and earn points for sustainability. The more points a building earns the higher its level of certification. Points can be earned across nine categories and teams choose the credit categories that best fits a particular project. These categories include:
  • Innovation
  • Energy and Atmosphere
  • Indoor Environmental Quality

enVerid and LEED

enVerid shares USGBC’s passion to create green buildings, especially in the areas of energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and indoor air quality. enVerid technology can help organizations earn LEED points in both BD&C LEED v4 Building Design and Construction and BO&M LEED v4 Building Operations and Maintenance, in the following areas:
  • Indoor Environmental Quality: Enhanced IAQ Strategies, Low Emitting Materials, IAQ Assessment, Construction, IAQ Management Plan
  • Energy and Atmosphere: Optimize Energy Performance, Demand Response, Energy Efficiency Best Management Practices
  • Innovation: Optimize Energy Performance, Demand Response, Energy Efficiency Best Management Practices

LEED Credits for HLR Technology

Projects can earn up to 9 LEED points by incorporating Sorbent Ventilation Technology into their HVAC designs. These points come from pilot credits available from USGBC. Pilot Credits test new LEED ideas by introducing credits to the rating system and allowing projects to try out new and innovative solutions.

HLR Technology can help organizations earn pilot credits such as:

EQpc165:

The USGBC has developed the LEED BD+C Minimum Indoor Air Quality Performance: IAQP Compliance Path pilot credit (EQpc165) as an alternative path to earn the LEED Environmental Quality (EQ) prerequisite and up to 3 additional points under Innovation and EQ.

Energy Optimization Credits:
HLR modules can earn up to 6 additional non-pilot LEED points for new construction through energy simulations and by referencing the HLR design guide in the Energy & Atmosphere credit area. By demonstrating increased energy efficiency with HLR Technology, new construction can earn the Optimize Energy Performance credit.

Existing Buildings:
Existing buildings can earn up to 9 LEED points using HLR Technology. HLR modules reduce the amount of outside air intake, which leads to energy savings and LEED points in the Energy & Atmosphere credit area. With HLR modules, existing buildings can demonstrate increased energy efficiency and participate in a Demand Response Program, enabling them to earn the Optimize Energy Performance and Demand Response credits.
