1. LEED® Certification :- Scoring Points
How ClimateMaster’s EarthPure™ R-410A heat pumps fit into the LEED program

2. LEED = Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
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

3. Why LEED? Annual Building consumption Sustainable Design
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

4. 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

5. 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

6. 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

7. 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%

8. LEED Certifications LEED-NC (new construction – commercial)

Is my Building/Job eligible for EA Credit 4???? Example :- Total number of units : Units use HFC’s, 30 Units use HCFC’s SOLUTION :- CLIMATEMASTER LEED REFRIGERANT CALCULATOR

20. Other LEED points IEQ (Indoor Environmental Quality)
1 point: Provide IAQ monitoring via CO2 sensor
CO2 sensor for each ClimateMaster Rx system
1 point: Provide for effective delivery and mixing of fresh air.
Design system for air change effectiveness greater than or equal to 0.9 AC/H per ASHRAE 129.
1 point: Prevent IAQ problems resulting from the construction/renovation process AND provide MERV13 filtration media

21. Other LEED points Thermal Comfort Innovation in Design
1 point: Comply with ASHRAE 55 (Thermal comfort standards)
1 point: Include temperature and humidity monitoring with humidification and/or dehumidification capabilities
Innovation in Design
Up to 4 points for exceptional performance above requirements set by the LEED program
e.g. Provide training on green buildings, open to the public (must be pre-approved)

22. Other LEED points LEED accredited professional
One point may be earned for involving a LEED accredited professional.
