LEED Green Power Credit
Take the LEED with green power.
Your decision to pursue Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification demonstrates your commitment to sustainable building practices. It takes an investment in design, planning and materials to accrue LEED points, and the Green Power Credit highlights your leadership as you work to achieve your goals. Plus, your participation helps finance clean energy and greenhouse gas reduction projects that benefit our planet and offer new renewable energy options for businesses and individuals.
Benefit from either side of the carbon reduction coin.
When green power projects deliver electricity to the grid, the energy becomes indistinguishable from other forms of electricity. Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) are like a receipt that enables the purchaser to own the environmental benefits associated with generating the renewable energy. Alternatively, carbon offsets are based on a measurement of greenhouse gas that is removed from the atmosphere or never goes into it to begin with. Your purchase of either enables you to meet the Green Power Credit while earning you up to six points toward your LEED goal. As a buyer, you can also leverage this environmental action for marketing purposes.
