To help identify and promote standards f environmentally responsible construction and highperfmance operation, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) developed the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system. The LEED rating system is a widely recognized thirdparty certification standard that offers voluntary certification f buildings and accreditation of professionals. Although certification is voluntary, many federal, state, and local governments now require that the design architects engineers on official projects demonstrate that they have perfmed the data collection and analysis necessary to meet the requirements of the LEED standard. (See Fig. 1.) Fig 1. State and Local Governments with LEED Requirements 3

LEED RATING SYSTEM OVERVIEW The LEED rating system includes several specific standards covering all aspects of the design, operation, and construction of buildings. The LEED f New Construction (LEED-NC) standard covers new commercial construction and maj renovation projects and issues points f achieving credits in six categies of building design: Sustainable Site (SS), Water Efficiency (WE), Energy & Atmosphere (EA), Materials & Resources (MR), Indo Environmental Quality (EQ), and Innovation & Design Process (ID). The LEED f Existing Buildings (LEED-EB) standard includes guidelines f sustainable efficiency and maintenance and f upgrades to meet current perfmance requirements. The LEED-EB system can be used to certify existing non-leed buildings as well as buildings that had received certification under LEED-NC and are seeking re-certification. The USGBC encourages building owners to enroll in LEED-EB at the time of LEED-NC certification in der to achieve sustainable building perfmance. Carrier Commercial Service product and service offerings can contribute to meeting the goals of the LEED-EB standard through sustainable preventive maintenance solutions and planned upgrades to equipment and systems. Preventive Maintenance Service Agreements are available f all brands of rooftops, chillers, boilers, compresss, air-handlers, cooling towers, pumps, variable speed drives, controls and accessies. Carrier Commercial Services can also install and service building automation and control systems and energy saving solutions including microturbines and variable speed drives. These products can contribute to sustainable, efficient operation of a building and should be considered by owners seeking LEED-EB certification. The following two LEED standards are designed to address situations in which responsibility f sustainable choices is split between building developers/owners and tenants. The LEED f Commercial Interis (LEED-CI) standard includes categies that are similar to those found in the LEED-NC standard, but with a focus on categies that may be under the control of the building owners tenants. F instance, energy perfmance optimization addresses lighting and lighting controls, while resource utilization addresses interi building systems and furnishings. The LEED f Ce and Shell (LEED-CS) standard is complementary to the LEED f Commercial Interis and establishes standards f basic building elements, such as structure and building level systems, which are under the control of the building developer. Other LEED standards specifically address green building requirements f Homes, Schools, Multiple Building Campuses, and Retail Operations. A pilot program is currently underway to establish a LEED rating system f Neighbhood Development. LEED FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION This paper will focus on the LEED rating system f New Construction. As noted earlier, LEED-NC 2.2 issues points f achieving credits in the following categies: Sustainable Site, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, Indo Environmental Quality, and Innovation & Design Process. Buildings and systems can achieve basic certification reach the silver, gold, platinum level of certification, depending on the number of points awarded. (See Fig. 2.) The LEED system does not certify products, however, the selection of products is critical to obtaining LEED certification f a building, because the right products can help meet the goals of green construction and contribute to earning LEED points. The choice of HVAC products, in particular, can have a significant impact on LEED certification, as the HVAC system directly impacts two categies that together contribute to 40% of the available points. (See Fig. 3.) Platinum (52-69) Gold (39-51) Silver (33-38) Certified (26-32) Fig. 2. 69 Possible LEED Points 4

Indo Environmental Quality (15 points) HVAC Contribution 5 of 15 points Innovation & Design Process (5 points) Sustainable Site (14 points) Water Efficiency (5 points) Material & Resources (13 points) Energy & Atmosphere (17 points) HVAC Contribution 12 of 17 points Fig. 3. LEED-NC Overview The achievement of points in any particular credit area depends on the combination of products selected and the specific application of those products. Therefe, no products programs can claim that their use will guarantee that LEED points will be awarded. Carrier HVAC products, which are built to high standards of energy efficiency and indo air quality, can help building owners earn LEED points by contributing to the achievement of credits in the imptant categies of Energy & Atmosphere (EA) and Indo Environmental Quality (EQ). Success in the categy of Energy & Atmosphere recently became essential to LEED certification when the USGBC decided to institute a new requirement. The mandate requires that all newly registered LEED projects achieve at least two points in the Optimize Energy Perfmance area. These points are awarded under the EA categy. through 1.4 allow points f exceeding requirements in one of the other 5 categies of the LEED-NC rating system (i.e., Sustainable Site, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, Indo Environmental Quality). Points in the ID categy may also be earned by demonstrating innovative perfmance in other Green Building categies. One innovative Carrier product that may contribute to a credit in the ID categy is the Carrier Microsteam turbine generat. The Carrier Microsteam turbine provides sustainable energy recovery by using existing steam sources to generate usable electric energy. The following outline lists the sections in which the application of HVAC equipment can contribute to EA and EQ credits and identifies the LEED points available if the credit standard is met. Contact your Carrier Sales engineer to discuss an innovative HVAC system that may contribute to earning ID Credits. Another LEED-NC categy to which Carrier products may make a contribution is the categy of Innovation & Design Process. In this categy, Credits 1.1 5

ENERGY & ATMOSPHERE (EA) 12 HVAC-RELATED LEED POINTS POSSIBLE NOTE: Two of the three prerequisites in the EA categy relate to HVAC equipment. Carrier products can meet the applicable requirements of each of these relevant prerequisites. EA Prerequisite 2 Minimum Energy Perfmance Establish the minimum level of energy efficiency f the building system by specifying Carrier equipment that meets the energy efficiency and control requirements of ASHRAE 90.1-2004. EA Prerequisite 3 Fundamental Refrigerant Management Reduce ozone depletion by specifying units that do not use CFC refrigerants. All new Carrier equipment uses non-cfc refrigerants. 1 to 10 Points Reduce energy cost of proposed building compared to ASHRAE 90.1-2004 minimum tables. Carrier units that are designed f good part-load perfmance, heat reclaim, system energy saving features such as demand control ventilation (DCV) can contribute to earning points. In addition, the Carrier HAP (Hourly Analysis Program) is an approved program f determining compliance with these requirements. EA Credit 4 Enhanced Refrigerant Management 1 Point Minimize the Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and Global Warming Potential (GWP) of the system. Carrier units that use reduced refrigerant charges and environmentally sound refrigerants, such as Puron R-410A refrigerant, can meet the requirements f this credit. ODP/GWP calculation f acceptable charge of R-134a packaged unit 2.8 lb/ton scroll reciprocating chillers 3.30 lb/ton centrifugal screw chillers 3.03 lb/ton ODP/GWP calculation f acceptable charge of R-410A packaged unit 1.98 lb/ton scroll reciprocating chillers 2.11 lb/ton centrifugal screw chillers 2.17 lb/ton EA Credit 5 Measurement & Verification 1 Point Develop and implement a plan to account f building energy consumption over time. Carrier equipment control systems, such as the Carrier Comft Netwk (CCN) controls, can be configured to track energy usage and monit the perfmance of fans, compresss, heating devices. Data can be collected and used to develop trend logs. 6

INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY (EQ) 5 HVAC-RELATED LEED POINTS POSSIBLE NOTE: There are two prerequisites in the EQ categy, but only one relates to HVAC equipment. Carrier products can meet the applicable requirements of this prerequisite. EQ Prerequisite 1 Minimum IAQ Perfmance Establish minimum indo air quality (IAQ) perfmance by specifying units that meet the ventilation rates described in ASHRAE 62.1-2004. (applies to all airside equipment). Carrier units covered by this standard can meet the applicable construction and perfmance requirements. Outdo Air Delivery Moniting 1 Point Provide capacity f ventilation system moniting. This credit requires moniting of CO 2 in densely occupied spaces and moniting of outdo airflow in other spaces. Carrier units that use DCV (when output can be monited) air-handling units with airflow stations can help qualify f this point. Increased Ventilation 1 Point Improve IAQ by increasing the outdo air ventilation to 30% above that required by ASHRAE 62.1-2004. Carrier offers system options, such as energy recovery and outdo humidity control, that can contribute to meeting this requirement while maintaining energy efficiency. EQ Credit 5 Indo Chemical & Pollutant Source Control 1 Point EQ Credit 6.2 Controllability of Systems: Thermal Comft 1 Point Provide individual comft control f 50% of the building s occupants. Carrier systems that may meet this requirement include VVT systems designed f small zones; underflo air distribution systems; and individual room terminal units. Thermal Comft: Design 1 Point Control and maintain humidity as well as temperature and comply with the requirements of ASHRAE 55-2004. Carrier rooftop units and air handlers coupled with Carrier controls can help to meet this requirement.
