USGBC 2017 - Introduction to the USGBC PEER System

PEER is a certification program that measures and improves power system performance and electricity delivery systems. Through PEER, power grids can gain a competitive advantage by differentiating performance, documenting value produced and demonstrating meaningful outcomes.
PEER evaluates power generation, transmission, and distribution systems across desired outcomes that include efficiency, quality, reliability, resiliency and the environment.
PEER has three different applications that involve professionals across the industry:
The development of better standards through partnerships tools and guides to benchmark and continuously improve power grid design, construction and operation
Power supply and microgrid performance design, rating, and certification
Stakeholder and professional education
