What is LEED®?
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ encourages and accelerates global adoption of sustainable green building and development practices through the creation and implementation of universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria.
LEED is a third-party certification
program and 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.
