Energy and Atmosphere (EA) section is one of the categories within the LEED rating system. This episode Russell goes through the following sections:

Fundamental & Enhanced Commissioning

This involves a thorough commissioning process to ensure that building systems are installed, tested, and operated efficiently. It helps identify and address issues that could impact energy performance.

Minimum Energy Performance

To reduce the environmental and economic harms of excessive energy and achieve minimum level of energy efficiency

Building Level Energy Metering & Advanced Energy Metering

To support energy management and identify oppotunies for energy savings

Fundamental & Advanced Refrigerant Management

To reduce stratospheric ozone depletion and meet compliance to Montreal Protocol while minimizing direct contribution to climate change.

Optimise Energy Performance

To achieve levels of energy performance to reduce environmental and economic harms with excessive energy use.

Demand Response

Increase participation in demand response technologies and programs

Renewable Energy Production

Promoting the use of renewable energy sources like solar, wind, or geothermal to power the building and offset carbon emissions.

Green Power and Carbon Offsets: Encouraging the purchase of green power, which is electricity generated from renewable sources, and the use of carbon offsets to mitigate the environmental impact of the building's energy use.
