USGBC opens building performance partnership to current LEED-certified buildings
The USGBC (US Green Building Council) announced its Building Performance Partnership, a programme to engage owners and managers of commercial and residential LEED-certified green buildings, optimizing the performance of buildings through data collection, analysis and action. USGBC has opened the program to all current whole-building LEED-certified commercial and residential projects. Building Performance Partnership will further the efforts to understand how buildings perform from the moment of LEED certification and years beyond. This partnership among USGBC and the LEED project owners will result in the population of a comprehensive green building performance database and enable standardization of reporting metrics and analytics to establish new building performance benchmarks.
