NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. & TORONTO, Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- REGEN Energy's Swarm Energy Management™ solution helps facility owners to achieve points through the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED rating system. LEED is an internationally recognized green building program that provides building owners and operators with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions. Through certification, projects are recognized for their work towards "greening" their facilities while simultaneously improving building performance and reducing their operating costs. In LEED v4, the newest update to the rating systems, USGBC will introduce a new credit that addresses load reductions achieved through demand response programs ("DR"). REGEN's Swarm Energy Management solution can help project teams earn all three of the points associated with this credit. Points can be earned even in areas where demand response programs are not yet available. DR programs help facility owners relieve grid stress while reducing their operating costs.
