LEED has become central to how owners differentiate their portfolios and data capture is where most teams get stuck. Enertiv automates the continuous, auditable utility data those credit tracks are built around.
Continuous utility data, automated insights, and clean reporting. The foundation every credit track depends on.
Centralized platform for monitoring and aggregating energy, water, and indoor air quality data across your portfolio.
AI-powered insights to identify inefficiencies, optimize consumption, and prevent costly operational issues.
Streamlined reporting with centralized consumption and emissions data, simplifying certification and recertification.
Mostly done via software integrations to utility providers and minimal disruption through integration with your BMS system or the use of non-invasive, easy-to-install metering devices portfolio-wide.
Every LEED project must meet a set of minimum program requirements (MPRs) to be eligible for certification. These define the types of buildings 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
