LEED (Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design). |
|
 |
Developed by USGBC, LEED addresses all building types and
emphasizes state-of-the-art strategies for sustainable site
development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials and
resources selection, and indoor environmental quality. LEED is a
practical rating tool for green building design and construction
that provides immediate and measurable results for building
owners and occupants. |
