LEED 2009
LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is an internationally recognized certification system developed by the USGBC (United States Green Building Council). Points are collected on a 100 point rating system which is broken down into four compliance levels:
Outside airflow measurement devices with alarming capability, such as those manufactured by EBTRON are ideal for the satisfaction of the Indoor Environmental Quality Point (IEQ) Credit 1, Outdoor Air Delivery Monitoring. IEQ Credit 1 awards 1 point for installation of a direct airflow measurement device capable of measuring the minimum outdoor air intake flow with an accuracy of +/‐ 15% of the design minimum outdoor air rate as defined by ASHRAE 62.1‐2007, for all mechanical ventilation systems where 20% or more of the design supply airflow serves non‐densely occupied spaces. The airflow measurement device should be capable of generating an alarm when the airflow values vary by more than 10% from the design values.
Additional points may be realized by implementing airflow measurement devices as part of an overall strategy for commissioning, energy savings and occupant comfort as indicated in the table below. For more information, contact EBTRON or your local EBTRON representative. |
