LEED certification levels (Certified, Silver, Gold, Platinum)

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification recognizes buildings that meet high standards for sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental impact. There are four levels: Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Certified is the basic achievement, showing the building meets minimum green standards. Silver signifies a higher commitment to sustainable design. Gold indicates advanced environmental performance, and Platinum is the top tier, awarded to buildings with exceptional sustainability features. The levels reflect increasing levels of eco-friendliness, energy savings, and innovative environmentally conscious practices.
