Which platform can a LEED O+M project use to share building-level water meter data with USGBC?

The ability to share building-level water meter data with the USGBC is facilitated through platforms that can effectively collect, manage, and transmit this information. ENERGY STAR's Portfolio Manager is a well-known tool that allows building owners and managers to track energy and water consumption, enabling them to benchmark performance against similar buildings. Additionally, the use of a third-party data source is also valid, as these sources can provide the required water use data in a compatible format for reporting to the USGBC.

By allowing for both ENERGY STAR's Portfolio Manager and third-party data sources, the USGBC enhances flexibility for building owners and project teams, accommodating various data management systems and ensuring comprehensive reporting options. This approach ultimately ensures that accurate water usage metrics are available for LEED certification considerations, supporting sustainability efforts in building operations and management.
