WHAT IS LEED®?

LEED® – which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – is like an environmental report card for buildings. LEED® is a point-system that encourages “green” building practices by examining:

- sustainable site development

- water efficiency

- energy efficiency

- materials selection

- indoor environmental quality, and

- innovative design

To become certified, a building is rated on a scale of 70 points. Depending on its score, the building is awarded one of four certification levels (certified, silver, gold or platinum). The higher the score, the less of an impact the building has on the environment!
