Building Performance Partnership - current LEED certified projects can participate
| | In an effort to optimize the performance of
buildings, USGBC has launched the Building Performance Partnership which will help us better understand how buildings perform from the moment of LEED certification and years beyond
Participation of current LEED-certified buildings is voluntary. Current projects - regardless of their rating system version - are invited to take part in the Building Performance Partnership. LEED buildings that participate are eligible for
annual performance reports, report cards and real-time data interfaces
to aid in their building performance goals.
Currently more than 120 projects are participating in Phase One. These projects will receive a basic performance report in time for Greenbuild 2010 in Chicago this November.
