The document outlines The Cotocon group's LEED-EBOM certification program, which involves 5 steps: 1) conducting an initial building energy check-up and data collection, 2) getting an engineer's sign-off on the building's energy performance, 3) performing an analysis and survey to identify LEED certification credits, 4) formally registering the building for LEED-EBOM certification and implementing strategies over 6-24 months, and 5) establishing an ongoing maintenance program to track performance and satisfy LEED requirements. The goal is to benchmark buildings, improve energy efficiency, lower operating costs, and achieve LEED certification.
