LEED – Leadership in Energy and Environment Design®, LEED Certification

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a third party certification program and an internationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. It provides building owners and operators the needed tools to indentify and implement practical measures on the buildings performance.

Green Building Council members, representing every sector of the building industry, developed and continue to refine LEED. The rating systems address eight major areas:

Location and Planning
Sustainable Sites
Water Efficiency
Energy and Atmosphere
Materials and Resources
Indoor Environmental Quality
Innovation and Design Process
Regional Priority

The goal of most stakeholders using LEED as a building-rating tool is to achieve LEED certification. Certification is the process by which a project team fulfills the prerequisites and sufficient credit points in four possible levels: Certified, Sliver, Gold or Platinum. LEED is flexible enough to accommodate a wide range of green building strategies that best fit the goals of particular projects.

LEED is rapidly evolving into a blueprint for achieving higher levels of performance and return for sustainable buildings. Modular construction technology allows up to 100% recycle, reuse by its ability to relocate the entire facility/building to an alternative location.
