What is Synergies ??

The term synergy implies that two individual parts can work together

Examples
SS credit : site Development—Protect or Restore Habitat
WE credit :Outdoor water Use Reduction

Using native and adaptive plants as part of your sustainable site can earn
major points in water efficiency. The best landscaping would be one that
could thrive without regular irrigation.

Examples
EA credit : Optimize Energy Performance
EA credit : Renewable Energy Production

Using energy created on site will reduce the demand on the public energy grid. It
will likely save the company money and may in fact generate its own revenues
when excess energy is sold to utility companies. On the other hand, creating a
building with less energy demand will require less on-site renewable energy.
