LEED is the only
nationally recognized green
building rating system and
evaluates the performance of
buildings from a “whole
building” perspective. It
provides project developers a
checklist of criteria by which a
building can be judged in six
categories, including
Sustainable Sites, Water
Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere,
Materials & Resources, Indoor
Environmental Quality, and
Innovation & Design. The
largest |
|
point-generating
category is Energy & Atmosphere.
There are four possible ratings:
LEED Certified, Silver, Gold and
Platinum. A gold-rated
building is estimated to have
reduced its environmental impact
by 50% compared with an
equivalent conventional
building.
