How EnGoPlanet Solar Street Lights can earn you LEED credits?


The LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification system is a rating system developed by the United States Green Building Council to rate the environmental performance of a building and its site. Using five main criteria, it provides a measurable benchmark of a building's impact on the environment. The five key criteria are: sustainable site development, water-savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

For companies planning new construction or renovating/upgrading their facilities, installing EnGoPlanet Solar Street lighting is one of the easiest ways to increase energy savings and contribute toward LEED® credits from the U.S. Green Building Council.
