What is LEED®?
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) Green Building Rating System™ is the nationally accepted
benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance
green buildings.
LEED gives building owners and operators the tools
they need to have an
immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’ performance.
LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability
by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental
health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency,
materials selection and indoor environmental quality.
LEED provides a roadmap for measuring and documenting
success
for every building type and phase of a building lifecycle.
