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.
