“Energy Star“, often heard in today’s “Green Industrial Boom”, is a tool used in many different areas but has 1 main goal – to help save & reduce energy use.
You can purchase Energy Star rated products, like computers, printers, fridgerators, washing machines, etc. and typically save 30% energy use vs. the standard product.

Energy Star can also be used to track buildings energy performance on an ongoing basis.  Their website can be used to setup a “Portfolio Manager” Tool, giving users the ability to review multiple buildings under one portfolio.

In Energy Star, you can track the following types of buildings:

  • Offices
  • Bank/Financial Institutions
  • Courthouses
  • Data Center
  • K-12 Schools
  • Hospitals (Acute Care and Children’s)
  • Hotels
  • Retail Stores
  • Supermarkets
  • Senior Care Facility
  • Residence Halls/Dormitories
  • Warehouses
  • Medical Offices
  • Wastewater Facilities
  • House of Worship

LEED EB: Operations and Maintenance

Posted by Bryan Lauer, LEED AP in GoGreen on 30-03-2009

LEED EB:  Operations and Maintenance, aka “LEED EBOM”, is the USGBC’s latest version of the Existing Building (EB) guidelines for LEED Certification.  LEED EBOM has more credits and less Pre-Requisites compared to the 2.0 Version making LEED “EBOM” easier to obtain LEED Certification.

Obtaining LEED EBOM Certification is a process that can take anywhere from 5 months to 1 year.  Hiring a LEED AP with LEED Existing Building experience is the best way to streamline the LEED Certification process.

I am currently undergoing LEED EBOM Certification for a 550,000sf office high-rise in Tampa, FL.  As of today, 3/30/09, we are well on our way of becoming LEED Certified.

To find out more about converting your building (office, industrial, residential, retail, school/university, hospital) into a LEED (EBOM) Certified, please contact Bryan Lauer, LEED AP, directly at 813.349.8550 or bblauer@clwrg.com
