New White Paper from Onset Provides Tips on Earning LEED Credits

Though much focus of the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® Certification Program is on new construction, much can be done for existing buildings to increase efficiency and lower operational costs. The U.S. Green Building Council's LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance (O&M) certification program was developed specifically to allow these buildings to attain recognition through documentation of building performance data.

Since data collection and documentation is a cornerstone of this certification, it's important to be aware of the data logging tools available for such applications. Portable data loggers can monitor, log, and document equipment performance and environmental conditions unaided for months at a time.

A new white paper from Onset entitled Using Data Loggers to Meet LEED® Existing Building Certification Credits provides information about how data loggers can make earning LEED for Existing Buildings O&M credits simple. The white paper is aimed at a range of audiences, from those just getting started with the certification process to those documenting performance for submission to the U.S. Green Building Council.
