SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING AND USING ENERGY CREDITS DERIVED FROM THE TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY WHILE MAINTAINING GREEN CERTIFICATION

摘要

A system and method for creating and using energy credits derived from the construction or transportation sectors while maintaining green certification. The system and method uses buildings or vehicles. The energy consumption of a building or vehicle is first reduced by identifying and placing predetermined components in the building or vehicle. That energy reduction is then designated as an energy credit derived from and associated with the construction sector or transportation sector. The credit is then marketed and sold. The remaining or residual energy consumption associated with use of the building or vehicle is then offset through the purchase of outside energy credits. The buildings or vehicles are then certified as green.
