LEED Certification

The U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System is an internationally recognized certification system that measures how well a building or community performs based on the following:

  • Energy savings
  • Water efficiency
  • Emissions reduction
  • Improved indoor environmental quality
  • Preservation of resources

LEED provides building owners a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.
