LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is fast
becoming more than a passing trend in the building industry.
This standard of design and construction is a holistic approach
that incorporates considerations like site selection, urban
redevelopment, storm water management, high levels of
insulation, indoor air quality and renewable energy.
LEED certification offers independent verification that a
project meets the highest performance standards and provides
nationwide recognition that the building provides a healthy
living and working atmosphere, is profitable and environmentally
responsible.
The benefits of LEED certification are:
- Lower operating costs and increased asset
value
- Reduced waste sent to landfills
- Conserved energy and water
- Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
- Demonstration of social responsibility
- Provide a healthy environment for occupants
- Qualifies owners to receive tax rebates,
zoning allowances and other incentives
