Why is LEED Recertify Required?
A recertification (recertification) shows how the building performs in operation in the areas: Energy, Water, Waste, Transport and Indoor Environment. The certification is renewed at least every three years and can be used to improve the building. Unlike LEED certification of new and remodeling projects, which is largely based on design documents, the recertification is based on how the building actually performs.
Allow Unlimited Energy Waste for Washers and Dryers
Washington, DC — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) on Wednesday announced a proposal that would allow new clothes washers and dryers that waste unlimited amounts of energy and water, raising home utility bills and carbon emissions.
Net-Zero Energy Buildings
Global warming and climate change are rising issues during the last couple of decades. With residential and commercial buildings being the largest energy consumers, sources are being depleted at a much faster pace in the recent decades. Recent statistics shows that 14% of humans are active participant to protect the environment with an additional 48% sympathetic but not active.
The Comparative of Turkey and U.S. Green Building Certification Systems
With the realization of industrial revolutions, the melting of glaciers in the world and the increase in global warming, human beings have to take some precautions. The process started with the Montreal Protocol in the 1980s, the Kyoto Protocol in the 2000s and then the Paris Agreement began to take measures for global warming with the participation of countries all over the world.
Legionella and Legionnaires’ Disease
Stagnant or standing water in a plumbing system can increase the risk for growth and spread of Legionella and other biofilm-associated bacteria. When water is stagnant, hot water temperatures can decrease to the Legionella growth range (25–42°C).
Operations and Maintenance Plan for Commissioning in Green Buildings
Operations and maintenance (O&M) plan a plan that specifies major system operating parameters and limits, maintenance procedures and schedules, and documentation methods necessary to demonstrate proper operation and maintenance of an approved emissions control device or system.
Indoor Quality Approach in Green Buildings
Nowadays, a very large majority lives in closed environments. This closed environment is sometimes a closed volume such as a building and a structure, while it is sometimes located in closed spaces where logistics such as vehicles are provided.
COVID-19 Guidance for Mechanical Systems
As response to the coronavirus (COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, REHVA experts drafted a guidance document on how to operate and use building services in areas with a coronavirus outbreak to prevent the spread of COVID-19 depending on HVAC or plumbing systems related factors.
Commissioning for Green Building
Commissioning title is included in the Energy and Atmosphere title in the LEED Certification. In fact, although it has direct or indirect effects on credits in many titles, it shows its effect directly in two credits in the LEED Rating System.
