USGBC Leadership in Energy &
Environmental Design (LEED)
LEED is an internationally
recognized green building certification system, providing
third-party
verification that a building or community was designed
and built using strategies aimed at improving
performance across
all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency,
CO2 emissions
reduction, improved indoor environmental quality,
and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their
impacts.
Developed by the U.S.
Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides building owners
and operators
a concise framework for identifying and implementing
practical and measurable green building design,
construction,
operations and maintenance solutions.
