In Demand Response credit, what is the point range for all projects?

In the context of the LEED BD+C v4 Demand Response credit, the point range available for all projects is indeed between 1 and 2 points. This credit is designed to encourage building owners to participate in demand response programs, which help manage energy use during peak demand periods. By engaging in these programs, projects can contribute to grid reliability and sustainability.

Earning points in this credit varies depending on the extent of the demand response capability that a project can implement. For example, participation in specific utility programs or the ability to reduce energy consumption significantly during peak times can lead to earning the maximum of 2 points. Alternatively, a demonstration of basic demand response capabilities can still yield 1 point.

Understanding this point structure is crucial for project teams aiming to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability in their designs. It also emphasizes the importance of coordination between building operations and wider energy management practices. The incorrect options do not accurately reflect the range set by LEED for this credit, which highlights the focused approach towards encouraging practical participation in energy demand management.
