Guide to Green Products and LEED Certification
Build Smarter. Earn More LEED Points.
At MHT Technologies, we design intelligent, low-voltage infrastructure that helps buildings achieve sustainability goals—starting with LEED certification. Our Power over Ethernet (PoE) hardware and AI-powered software provide measurable energy savings, flexible automation, and real-time control to reduce operational costs and environmental impact.
What is LEED Certification?
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the world’s most widely used green building rating system, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). It provides a framework for designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining high-performance buildings with a focus on energy efficiency, environmental impact, and occupant well-being. LEED certification is awarded based on a point system across categories like energy use, materials, water efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and innovation.
For commercial buildings, LEED certification is more than a sustainability credential—it’s a strategic investment. Facility managers benefit from reduced utility costs, streamlined operations, and access to green building incentives. LEED-certified buildings are often more attractive to tenants, investors, and employees due to their modern, efficient infrastructure and healthier indoor environments. In today’s market, where ESG performance and smart technologies are top priorities, LEED certification signals long-term value, operational excellence, and environmental leadership.
How MHT Supports LEED Certification
Our platform contributes up to 44 LEED Points across seven key LEED categories:
Integrative Process (2 Points)
Optimize building performance from the earliest design phases with real-time data, automation, and system-level insights.
Sustainable Sites (2 Points)
Minimize site energy demand and environmental impact using smart daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing, and efficient scheduling.
Energy & Atmosphere (26 Points)
Cut energy use, enable demand response, and support renewable energy systems—all with a centralized control platform that tracks performance.
Indoor Environmental Quality (5 Points)
Improve comfort and productivity with tunable lighting, air quality integration, and personalized zone control.
Materials & Resources (4 Points)
Reduce traditional conduit and copper usage by leveraging low-voltage Cat6 cabling to power and connect building systems.
Innovation (5 Points)
MHT enables advanced automation and AI-driven energy optimization that exceeds baseline LEED requirements.
