Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED®) is a sustainable building certification program that rewards best-in-class building strategies and practices. Stringent criteria are set which a building project must meet in order to achieve LEED® certification. In doing so, specifiers will seek to use the most sustainable options available for the project.
The development of LEED® v4 has spanned more than three years, engaged hundreds of volunteers and thousands of stakeholders around the world. LEED® v4 has the potential to drive the reduction of building carbon emissions and take a stronger stand on human health, more so than any previous version of LEED®.
