Building a Sustainable Future: LEED Certifications and Their Environmental Impact

About LEED Certifications

LEED(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the world’s most widely used green building rating system in the world. Available for virtually all building types, LEED certification provides a framework for healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green buildings, which offer environmental, social and governance benefits. LEED certification is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement, and it is backed by an entire industry of committed organizations and individuals paving the way for market transformation.

LEED is for all building types and all building phases including new construction, interior fit outs, operations and maintenance and core and shell. 

LEED-certified buildings are critical to addressing climate change and meeting ESG goals, enhancing resilience, and supporting more equitable communities. LEED is a holistic system that doesn’t simply focus on one building element, such as energy, water or health. Instead, it looks at the big picture, factoring in all critical elements that work together to create the best building possible. The goal of LEED is to create better buildings that:
– Reduce contribution to global climate change
– Enhance individual human health
– Protect and restore water resources
– Protect and enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services
– Promote sustainable and regenerative material cycles
– Enhance community quality of life
