LEED certification is a third-party verification that a building was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance in sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy efficiency, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, and innovation. There are a variety of LEED rating systems and certifications available for different building types. While LEED certification requires upfront costs, it provides long-term savings through reduced energy and water usage and can increase property values.
