LEED: The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System is the nationally accepted benchmark for designing, constructing, and operating high-performance green buildings. LEED provides building owners and operators with the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings' performance.

LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a building project is environmentally responsible, profitable, and a healthy place to live and work. Read more at www.usgbc.org
