LEED project certification

LEED Project Certification

What is LEED? LEED is an internationally recognized certification system that measures how well a building or community performs across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.

Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.

LEED is flexible enough to apply to all building types – commercial as well as residential. It works throughout the building lifecycle – design and construction, operations and maintenance, tenant fitout, and significant retrofit. And LEED for Neighborhood Development extends the benefits of LEED beyond the building footprint into the neighborhood it serves.

Why Make Your Building Green?

The environmental impact of building design, construction, and operation industry is significant. Buildings annually consume more than 30% of total energy and more than 60% of all electricity. Each day 5 billion gallons of potable water is used solely to flush toilets. A typical North American commercial construction project generates up to 2.5 pounds of solid waste per square foot of completed floor space. Development shifts land use away from natural habitats to hardscape that is impervious and devoid of biodiversity. This far-reaching influence of the built environment necessitates action to reduce its impact.
