LEED Green Building Program LEED = The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design “Aims to improve occupant well-being, environmental performance and economic returns of buildings” A rating system Projects earn one or more points toward certification by meeting or exceeding each credit’s technical requirements. Points add up to a final score Score relates to one of four possible levels of certification
Sustainable Sites – 14 pts. Heat Island Effect Water Efficiency – 5 pts. Energy & Atmosphere – 17 pts. Optimize Energy Performance Up to 10 points Materials & Resources – 13 pts. - Points from Metal Buildings Indoor Environmental Quality – 15 pts. Innovation & Design Process – 5 pts. LEED Accredited Professional– 1 point LEED Project Checklist Platinum:52-69 points Gold: 39-51 points Silver: 33-38 points Certified: 26-32 points
