LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is changing the way we think about how buildings and communities are planned, constructed, maintained and operated. Leaders around the world have made LEED the most widely used third-party verification for green buildings, with around 1.85 million square feet being certified daily.

LEED works for all buildings—from homes to corporate headquarters—at all phases of development. Projects pursuing LEED certification earn points across several areas that address sustainability issues. Based on the number of points achieved, a project then receives one of four LEED rating levels: Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum.

There are 5 LEED AP specialties:
  • • Building Design + Construction (BD+C)
  • • Operations + Maintenance (O+M)
  • • Interior Design + Construction (ID+C)
  • • Neighborhood Development (ND)
  • • Homes
