How LEED Works

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) offers a comprehensive framework for advancing sustainability in the built environment. It addresses critical performance areas—including energy efficiency, water conservation, materials selection, waste management, and indoor environmental quality—through a structured set of credit categories tailored to each rating system.

To achieve LEED certification, a project must first achieved all mandatory prerequisites. Points are then earned by meeting selected credit requirements aligned with the project’s goals and typology. Each submission undergoes a rigorous verification and review process conducted by the Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI). Based on the total points awarded, the project attains one of four certification levels: Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum.
