The LEED Green Building Rating System™ is a consensus-based national
standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. The U.S.
Green Building Council (USGBC) (external) offers this rating system,
which certifies projects as LEED Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum based
on the number of
points achieved. LEED rating systems are available for new construction,
existing buildings, homes, schools, healthcare facilities, tenant improvements,
and
neighborhood developments.
