LEED

According to the U.S. Green Building Council, LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices. To receive LEED certification, building projects satisfy prerequisites and earn points to achieve different levels of certification. Prerequisites and credits differ for each rating system, and teams choose the best fit for their project.

LEED certification is recognized across the globe as the premier mark of achievement in green building. There are four levels of certification – the number of points a project earns determines the level of LEED certification that the project will receive. Typical certification thresholds are: Certified (40-49 Points), Silver (50-59 Points), Gold (60-79 Points), Platinum (80+ Points).
