Thermal energy storage and LEED Certification
Minimum energy performance Point EAp2. This option is required, so no points are available. For new construction only, thermal storage can help achieve this requirement, by helping buildings surpass ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010 by 5%. Because the ASHRAE Standard is based on cost of energy savings, thermal storage is an ideal choice.
