Achieving Energy-Related Credits in LEED Construction

摘要

The Energy and Atmosphere section of LEED looks at how efficient a building is designed and awards points for teams that demonstrate their building is more efficient than a baseline building.This is accomplished by comparing the amount of energy (electric, gas, water or other) the building uses against how much the building would have used if it was built to a minimum ASHRAE standard.The U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED rating system rewards owners' efforts to improve their buildings' energy performance.This is proven by the designers before the construction starts.
