LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design has become the regional standard for green construction 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
