LEED Minimum Program Requirement #6, requiring energy and water use reporting, is the most controversial and the most difficult to comply with. Our free webcast explains it step by step.

Free Webcast: LEED Energy Reporting Made Easy: Fulfilling LEED-2009 MPR #6

Tues. Feb. 28 | 1 p.m. Eastern Time

When the Minimum Program Requirements (MPRs) were introduced in 2009, it quickly became clear that MPR #6 would be perhaps the most controversial and the most difficult to comply with. Under the requirements of MPR #6, certified LEED-2009 projects are committed to sharing whole-building energy and water usage data.

Many projects have had questions about how to comply (and if they really have to!), and USGBC has taken time to build out its support for this requirement. Now, the support is there, and LEEDuser is here to help answer your questions--and make MPR #6 easy with this free webcast--register now!

USGBC's MPR #6 expert answers your questions

LEEDuser is pleased to offer this presentation by Lauren Riggs, manager of LEED performance at USGBC. This live, half-hour webcast will cover the following topics:

  • The three options for BD&C projects to comply with MPR #6, including through use of Energy Star or LEED-EBOM
  • The two options for LEED-CI projects to comply
  • Tools under development to support performance tracking in LEED project certification
  • The role of the MPRs in achieving LEED certification--or not
  • Connections to EAc5: Measurement & Verification
  • The Building Performance Partnership (BPP) and its role in MPR #6 compliance

MPR #6 Frequently Asked Questions

The webcast will cover some of the common problems that project teams face in earning MPR #6, among them:

  • Can I get an exemption?
  • How will USGBC use our data?
  • Will my project be decertified if it performs poorly?
  • My project is outside the U.S. Can I use Portfolio Manager?
  • How often should I record energy and water data?
  • When do I have to start reporting data?

Lauren shares specific to-do's, case studies, and tips you can use to make this entire process easier for your project team.

Also, bring your MPR #6 questions to the webcast for a Q&A session with Lauren!

Continuing education

LEEDuser will offer 1 CE hour for AIA and LEED AP credential maintenance, to anyone attending the entire webcast. (Please stay to the end for instructions on logging those hours!)
