LEED is Leadership in Energy and Environment Design and it is a green building certification system or rating system that is internationally recognized. A development by the US Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED offers building operators and owners a framework for identifying as well as implementing measurable and practical green building designs, operations, construction and also maintenance solution.
In essence, it was developed to be a global benchmark for commercial, institutional, industrial and residential green high performance buildings. Generally it benchmarks the following categories:
• Homes
• Interior design and construction
• Building construction and design
• Neighborhood development
• Building operations and maintenance
Why it is important
The LEED certification system provides third party verification that a given building or even a community was built and designed using strategies that were aimed to improve performance across metrics that really matter. These metrics include resource stewardship, sensitivity to impacts, water efficiency, energy saving, reduction of CO2 emissions and improved quality of the indoor environment. When you have a LEED certified home, you stand to enjoy a number of benefits including:
• Improved resale value of the home
• Energy efficiency that greatly lowers on your monthly costs
• Better air quality within your indoors
• Enhanced durability of the home
• Peace of mind knowing that everything that matters to you is well protected
