GBCI to administer power system, grid certification
The Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) announced that it will administer certification for the Performance Excellence in Electricity Renewal™ (PEER) program. PEER is a consumer-centric, data-driven system for evaluating power system performance and is modeled after the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED program for buildings.
“The PEER program provides a much more complete picture of the efficiency, quality, safety, resilience and reliability of energy generation, transmission, and distribution systems than is currently available. It provides actionable information that empowers building owners and power providers to configure and operate their systems to maximum effectiveness across these key metrics,” said Mahesh Ramanujam, president of GBCI.
