LEED Green Building Program

• LEED The Leadership in Energy and Environmental
  Design
• Aims to improve occupant well-being,
  environmental performance and economic returns of
  buildings
• A rating system
• Projects earn one or more points toward
  certification by meeting or exceeding each
  credits technical requirements.
• Points add up to a final score
• Score relates to one of four
  possible levels of certification
