LEED Certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)

LEED Certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a global standard for sustainable building practices. It assesses a building’s design, construction, operation, and maintenance to promote energy efficiency, water conservation, reduced environmental impact, and healthier indoor environments. Buildings earn points across categories like innovation, location, materials, and indoor air quality, which contribute to their overall certification level (Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum). LEED encourages environmentally responsible building methods, helping owners reduce costs and carbon footprint while supporting healthier, more sustainable communities.
