What is “Green” or “Sustainable” Design?

Design and construction practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of buildings on the environment and occupants.

LEED®






5

What is the “LEED®” Green Building Rating System?

Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design®

A leading-edge system for designing, constructing, operating and certifying the world’s greenest buildings. - USGBC

Buildings are LEED certified.People are LEED accredited (Accredited Professional).Products are NOT LEED certified or accredited.
