LEED is an internationally recognized green building program.
It provides building owners and operators with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.
What is LEED?
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a voluntary, consensus-based, market¬-driven program that provides third-party verification of green buildings. From individual buildings and homes, to entire neighborhoods and communities, LEED is transforming the way built environments are designed, constructed, and operated. Comprehensive and flexible, LEED addresses the entire lifecycle of a building.
Participation in the voluntary LEED process demonstrates leadership, innovation, environmental stewardship and social responsibility. LEED provides building owners and operators the tools they need to immediately impact their building’s performance and bottom line, while providing healthy indoor spaces for a building’s occupants.
LEED projects have been successfully established in 135 countries. International projects, those outside the United States, make up more than 50% of the total LEED registered square footage. LEED unites us in a single global community and provides regional solutions, while recognizing local realities.
How it works
For commercial buildings and neighborhoods, to earn LEED certification, a project must satisfy all LEED prerequisites and earn a minimum 40 points on a 110-point LEED rating system scale. Homes must earn a minimum of 45 points on a 136-point scale. Learn more
Learn about LEED
LEED is developed, implemented and maintained with the help of the LEED Committees. Focusing more on the application of LEED, the LEED International Roundtable identifies ways LEED can better meet the needs of global users. Together, these groups include representation from a variety of industries across the country and around the globe.
USGBC is your source for up-to-date, high quality education on the rating systems. We offer a variety of ways to learn about LEED. Explore our course catalog
Why LEED?
LEED-certified buildings are designed to:
• Lower operating costs and increase asset value
• Reduce waste sent to landfills
• Conserve energy and water
• Be healthier and safer for occupants
• Reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions
• Qualify for tax rebates, zoning allowances and other incentives in hundreds of cities
LEED is good for business. LEED certification boosts your bottom line, makes you more competitive, limits risk, and attracts tenants.
Credit library
Building projects earn points for satisfying green building criteria. Within each of the environmental LEED credit categories, projects must satisfy particular prerequisites and earn additional points. The number of points the project earns determines the level of LEED certification the project receives. Projects must earn at least 40 points to achieve basic certification.
The document describes a greenhouse monitoring system that detects temperature, humidity, light intensity, and carbon dioxide levels to maintain a greenhouse's optimal conditions. The system helps control the environment by defining specific conditions, eliminating human error risks, and ensuring conditions stay within the ASHRAE greenhouse standard of 25°C, 60-70% humidity, 300 ppm CO2, and 32,000 lux light intensity. It uses sensors like DHT11, MQ135, and LDR connected to an Arduino via a PCB board to measure values and display results.

Trends in Green Kitchens and Green BuildingsDerek Satnik
The green building industry is one of the hottest right now. Construction has always been a major contributor to the economy, and Canada is adding enough new buildings every year that over 1,000 kilotons of new emissions are added to the building sector's footprint - compounded every year. The same market in the US adds almost 10 times more. This is obviously a problem.
The Green Building sector is making a significant impact at reversing this trend. Mindscape's partners are leading the way: our latest projects are pursuing net-zero, cost effectively. LEED Platinum is not only affordable, but it's making money for the building owners. Green material costs are continually becoming more competitive as suppliers adapt to the requirements of green building programs. There are brighter days ahead.

Net Zero Energy in Very Cold Climates by Peter AmerongenMBHomeBuilders
This document discusses designing and building net zero energy homes in very cold climates. Key points include:
- Aggressive energy conservation through a well-insulated building envelope is critical to achieving net zero, as it is nearly impossible without it.
- Modeling the home's energy performance is important to optimize the design and minimize costs. This includes evaluating insulation levels, passive solar gain, and mechanical systems.
- Windows are a major source of heat loss, so selecting high-performance windows is important for the design.
Casestudy of the HVAC systems for the LEED Platinum IGS Building
A presentation by Joe Ventresca of Max Green
Presented at the Columbus Green Building Forum's 2011 Green Building EXPO
The document discusses several sustainability standards for buildings including the Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH), LEED, and Passivhaus. It notes that Passivhaus is focused on energy efficiency and achieving ultra-low energy use, typically reducing usage by 90% compared to existing homes. It also mentions several Passivhaus projects that have been completed in the UK and Germany.
Tipperary Energy Agency has launched a pilot funding project that aims to deliver a deep retrofit for homes funded with a repayable loan and significant capital discounts. The project aims to move away from shallow retrofit and test applications of whole house retrofit focusing on cost effective solutions. This type of retrofit is designed to significantly decrease Ireland’s carbon emissions from the domestic sector and is critical to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all
A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

3. Airtightness Testing
Whole building airtightness for each building is to be tested and reported, and all
buildings are to be designed and constructed with the intention of meeting an air-
leakage target of 2.0 L/s*sqm @ 75 Pa (0.40 cfm/sf @ 0.3” w.c.), or sealed according
to good engineering practice.
Airtightness of suites is to be tested and reported for residential buildings and must
demonstrate compliance with suite-level air-leakage target of 1.2 L/s*sqm @ 50 Pa
(0.23 cfm/sf @ 0.2” w.c.), as tested to ASTM E779 or an equivalent standards.

5. Energy System Sub-Metering & Reporting
Separate master metering for each energy utility (eg. Electricity, gas, etc.) and each
building is to be provided as well as sub-metering of all major energy end-uses and
major space uses within each building.
An Energy Star Portfolio Manager account is to be setup for each building and must
include all basic property information for each building as designed, including setup of
meters for all energy utilities servicing the building.

86. Energy Sub-metering
• Major Energy End Uses
• Heating
• Cooling
• Lighting
• Domestic Hot Water
• Major Space Uses
• Residential
• Commercial/Retail/Office
87. Energy Sub-metering
• CoV Energy Modeling Guidelines
• Research indicates that MURB projects that do not sub-meter hot
water for space heating at the suite level typically use 15%
additional heating energy or more when compared to sub-metered
suites. To account for this increase in heating energy use, projects
must add 15% to their modelled heating energy end-use. This
increase would be reflected in the TEUI only (i.e. TEDI results would
remain as a direct output from the model, with no additional 15%
added).
88. Energy Star Portfolio Manager
• Energy Benchmarking Tool
• Developed by EPA in US
• Licensed to NRCan
• Adapted to Canada – Weather, postal codes, languages, metric, and
other data specific to Canada
• Enter Building Energy data – compares to similar building types in
database and comes up with a score
• Score of 75 means 75th percentile in terms of energy efficiency

6. Refrigerant Emissions and Embodied Emissions
All projects shall calculate and report the life-cycle equivalent annual carbon dioxide
emissions of each building, in kgCO2e/sqm, from the emission of refrigerants. This
requirement does not apply to projects where the total installed heating and cooling
capacity of equipment containing refrigerants is less than 35 kW.
All projects shall report the life-cycle equivalent carbon dioxide emissions (ie. Global
warming potential impact, or ‘embodied carbon’) of each building, in kgCO2e/sqm, as
calculated by a whole-building life-cycle assessment (LCA).

7. Verified Direct Ventilation
All buildings shall be designed and constructed with a ventilation system that provides
outdoor air directly to all occupiable spaces, in the quantities defined by code. This
includes bedrooms, living rooms, and dens in residential units. The ventilation
system shall allow for the designed flow rates to be tested and verified at the
occupiable space level as part of the enhanced commissioning process.
