LEED – Energy & Atmosphere
LEED credit area: Coolerado contribution:
Points:
Prerequisite 2
Minimum Energy Performance
Coolerado air conditioners reduce energy consumption by up to 90% compared to traditional A/C systems.
Required
Prerequisite 3
Refrigeration Management
Coolerado air conditioners do not use chemical refrigerants.
Required
Credit 1 – Optimize Energy Performance Coolerado air conditioners reduce energy consumption by up to 90% compared to traditional A/C systems.
1 to 10 points
Credit 2 – On-Site Renewable Energy Coolerado systems dramatically lower energy demand, which lowers on-site energy production demand. Coolerado’s waste air stream can be used to cool photovoltaic panels, increasing their production by 15%.
1 to 3 points
Credit 4 – Enhanced Refrigerant Management Coolerado air conditioners do not use chemical refrigerants.
1 point
Credit 6 – Green Power Coolerado systems dramatically lower energy demand, which reduces the need for higher-cost, green power.
1 point
LEED – Indoor Environmental Quality
Prerequisite 1
Minimum IAQ Performance
Coolerado air conditioners use up to 100% fresh and filtered make-up air without additional energy consumption. This allows displacement cooling and ventilation techniques to be employed which provides the best indoor air quality.
Required
Credit 2 – Increased Ventilation 1 point
Credit 3.1 – Construction IAQ Management Plan Coolerado air conditioners use standard size air filters. MERV 8 filters are readily available for construction. 1 point
Credit 7.1 – Thermal Comfort, Design Coolerado air conditioners allow the use of displacement cooling and displacement ventilation techniques which provide better comfort as well as indoor air quality. 1 point
Credit 7.2 – Thermal Comfort, Verification 1 point
Total Potential Coolerado LEED Contribution Points: 8 to 19
