The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System, developed by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. Members of the USGBC representing all segments of the building industry developed LEED and continue to contribute to its evolution.
LEED provides a complete framework for assessing building performance and meeting sustainability goals. LEED recognizes achievements and promotes expertise in green building through a comprehensive system offering project certification, professional accreditation, training and practical resources. The full program offers training workshops, professional accreditation, resource support and third-party certification of building performance.
The applicant project must satisfactorily document achievement of all the prerequisites and a minimum number of points to attain the LEED ratings: Certified - 26 to 32 points; Silver - 33 to 38 points; Gold - 39 to 51 points; and Platinum - 52 or more points.
