Faster Path to LEED Certification with Enertiv
The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system is the most widely used green building certification in the world. Enertiv can help accelerate the process of earning LEED points across multiple categories.
Direct impact of Enertiv on your LEED score
LEED Minimum Program Requirements
All projects applying for LEED certificationmust meet a set of minimum programrequirements (MPRs) to determine projecteligibility for certification. Minimum programrequirements define the types of buildingsthat LEED was designed to evaluate.
All LEED projects must be constructed and operated on a permanent location on existing land. This requirement applies to all land within the LEED project.
The LEED project boundary encompasses all land associated with the project, including areas altered during construction and those primarily used by project occupants,such as parking lots, sidewalks, and landscaping.
All LEED projects must comply with the size requirements for their respective rating system.
How Enertiv Supports Key LEED v4 Categories
Energy & Atmosphere
The Energy and Atmosphere (EA) category focuses on improving building energy performance, optimizing operations, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This is analogous to a real-time energy audit happening autonomously 24/7.
Enertiv supports this category by delivering continuous utility data collection and advanced submetering for all major energy sources and critical end uses. Our analytics pinpoint inefficiencies and track measurable reductions in energy consumption. We enable advanced energy metering with 15-minute interval data capture, support existing building commissioning by uncovering system-level optimization opportunities, and sustain ongoing commissioning through continuous monitoring and automated alerts. Additionally, Enertiv prepares buildings for participation in demand response programs.
Water Efficiency
The Water Efficiency (WE) category aims to reduce potable water use and promote responsible water management.
Enertiv supports this category by deploying building- and system-level water metering to identify inefficiencies and detect leaks in real time. We also enable smart irrigation systems that optimize outdoor water use.
Indoor Environmental Quality
The Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ) category focuses on creating healthier indoor environments for occupants. Enertiv contributes by deploying specialized sensors to monitor indoor air quality parameters such as CO2, particulate matter, humidity, and VOCs.
Innovation
The Innovation (IN) category rewards strategies that deliver measurable sustainability outcomes beyond standard credits.
Enertiv enables these opportunities through tenant submetering, comprehensive measurement and verification (M&V) programs, and a dedicated tenant portal that provides occupants with access to their consumption, emissions data, savings insights, and benchmarking reports — driving engagement and sustainable behavior.
