LEED O+M Applied to Manufacturing Facilities Design2Occupancy Impact of LEED Buildings on the Environment
Design2Occupancy LEED FOR MANUFACTURING - GLOBAL REACH
As of March 2023, there are 4,737 total LEED‐certified and registered industrial
manufacturing facilities across the globe representing 1.4 billion square feet (130 million
square meters) of built space.
Design2Occupancy Advantages of LEED for Manufacturing Facilities
LEED‐certified manufacturing facilities are the triple bottom line in action, benefiting
People, Planet, and Profit.
Leads to healthier, more productive places, reduced stress on the environment,
impressive savings through reduced utility costs, and enhanced building value.
Design2Occupancy Advantages of LEED for Manufacturing Facilities
LEED certified manufacturing facilities are designed and operated to consume less water, less energy, fewer natural resources and are ultimately aimed to reduce the overall impact of the development on the local, regional, and global environment.
Factories across the world are using LEED to ensure a more efficient, equitable, and sustainable future. For manufacturers, efficiency equals a healthy business unit and can save owners and operators millions 1 on an industrial scale.
Green buildings also ensure that manufacturers are good stewards for their communities and help protect residents and workers, promoting a healthy environment and economy.
Design2Occupancy Arc Platform
The LEED v4.1 O+M Rating System offers a
unique performance-based pathway to certify your existing buildings and interior spaces.
This new rating system uses Arc, a
state‐of‐the‐art platform designed to collect, manage, and benchmark your building across five performance categories: Energy, Water, Waste, Transportation, and Human Experience.
Design2Occupancy Arc Platform for Tracking
In the manufacturing industry, LEED v4.1 can be used to compare industrial facilities within your company to other similar facilities pursuing high-performance measures from around the world.
Facility managers and owners can continuously monitor the data and make informed decisions to optimize the building performance based on real-time data and analytics.
This performance pathway can then be used to certify and recertify the project every 3 years.
Award of Rating LEED for Operations and Maintenance
Can be applied to existing buildings that are fully operational and occupied for at least one year.
The project may be undergoing improvement work or little to no construction and must also include the entire building’s gross floor area in the project.
