LEED and PEER Synergies Can Help Boost Global Resilience
USGBC and GBCI programs seek to drive environmental, economic and social transformation, and part of this work is advancing reliability and resilience strategies in power and electrical systems.
USGBC and GBCI programs seek to drive environmental, economic and social transformation, and part of this work is advancing reliability and resilience strategies in power and electrical systems. The next generation of green building will operate a wide range of distributed energy resources and microgrids that will make buildings more valuable resources to our power grids.
PEER, as a leadership standard for improving power system performance and electricity infrastructure, is focused on resilience and power reliability, to enable the energy sector to build a robust 21st century infrastructure. If you’re a green building professional, you may already be aware that the LEED and PEER rating systems can work hand in hand and that many projects are being certified with both—but you may be wondering exactly how this works.
To find more details about how your project can achieve maximum energy efficiency and grid resilience, download our PEER and LEED synergies guidance document. The guide covers PEER Version 2.0 and and how it works with LEED 4.1 for Building Design and Construction (BD+C) or LEED v41.1 for Operations and Maintenance (O+M).
