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.
