leed-logo* LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)

is one of the most popular green building certification programs used worldwide. Developed by the non-profit U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) it includes a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings, homes, and neighborhoods that aims to help building owners and operators be environmentally responsible and use resources efficiently.

LEED 2009 encompasses ten rating systems for the design, construction and operation of buildings, homes and neighborhoods. Five overarching categories correspond to the specialties available under the LEED professional program. That suite currently consists of:

  • Certified: 40 – 49 points
  • Silver: 50 – 59 points
  • Gold: 60 – 79 points
  • Platinum:  80 points and above
