The Evergreen Sustainable Development Standard (ESDS) is a building performance standard that all affordable housing projects that receive capital funds through the state Housing Trust Fund program must comply with.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is defined as "the rapid, spontaneous transfer of electrostatic charge induced by a high electrostatic field. Note: Usually, the charge flows through a spark between two conductive bodies at different electrostatic potentials as they approach one another".
