What is LEED Certification

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification is a globally recognized rating system for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings, homes, and neighborhoods. It is awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and focuses on promoting sustainable, energy-efficient, and environmentally responsible building practices.

LEED certification encourages developers and building owners to use green strategies that not only reduce the environmental impact of buildings but also create healthier spaces for occupants.

LEED certification is a third-party verification system that recognizes buildings that are designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across key areas:

  • Energy savings
  • Water efficiency
  • CO2 emissions reduction
  • Improved indoor environmental quality
  • Stewardship of resources
  • Sensitivity to environmental impact
