LEED is a Framework for Measuring Green
Building Performance

Why we Need Rating Systems and LEED
LEED is a way to define and measure “green buildings,” providing third-party verification that measures how well a building performs across the metrics that matter most:
 Energy efficiency
 Water conservation
 CO
2 emissions reduction
 Improved indoor environmental quality
 Stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts

IEQc2.3: Thermal Comfort Monitoring
Credit Points Description
IEQc2.3
1 Thermal Comfort Monitoring
Intent
Have in place a system for continuous tracking and optimization of systems that regulate indoor comfort and conditions (air temperature, humidity, air speed and radiant temperature) in occupied spaces
Siemens Solution to meet Requirements
 Develop a complete inventory of all sensors located in the facility, and install additional sensors as necessary
 Monitor air temperature and humidity in occupied spaces
(15 minute intervals)
 Implement alarm procedures
 Provide supporting Preventive Maintenance documentation for sensors
 Periodic testing of air speed and radiant temperature in occupied spaces

Temperature and
Humidity Trend Report:
20% floor area
Temperature and
Humidity Trend Report:
20% of sensors

Case Study: Taipei 101
Key Facts
 Over 2 million gross square feet of floor area; over 10,000 people in the building
 Earned LEED EB Platinum certification in 2011; World’s tallest Green Building
 30% more energy efficient than similar buildings
Key Challenges
 Tenant engagement and support
 Minimize disruptions to ongoing operations
Achieving LEED Certification
 Key drivers for certification: corporate social responsibility, attract and retain tenants, reduce lifecycle cost

Automation system controls and monitors over 30,000 points throughout the building
 Asia’s largest air distribution system: 3,400 VAV boxes throughout the building to allow individual tenant control

Achieved ~10% annual reduction in electrical use, water consumption, waste
 $700,000 in annual energy savings
 Energy efficiency measures: lighting retrofits, BAS optimization, chiller plant optimization

The Critical role of the BAS
Across the Building Lifecycle BAS Impact
 Backbone for an efficient infrastructure
 Ensures implementation and application of energy optimization strategies
 Provides critical alarming and information management tools
 Can support over ½ of LEED points in New
Construction and Existing Buildings
