Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)™ is a national standard developed by the United States Green Building Council to certify high-performance, sustainable buildings. Currently, there are six LEED-standards available for use or under development; however LEED-NC for new construction and major renovation, is the most widely used standard.

LEED-NC™ utilizes a system where points are awarded for achieving specific levels of sustainable performance in six categories:

  • sustainable sites
  • water efficiency
  • energy and atmosphere
  • materials and resources
