8. What is LEED Certification? The LEED Green Building Rating System™ is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for high-performance, sustainable buildings.

9. New Construction Commercial Interiors Core & Shell LEED Family of Products Existing Buildings

10. The LEED-EB Rating System Addresses: • Initial certification of existing buildings • Ongoing re-certification of existing buildings first certified under LEED-EB • Ongoing re-certification of existing buildings first certified under LEED-NC

11. Why Certify? • Establish recognized leadership in the green building sector • Validate achievement through third party review • Assure ongoing achievement of improved building operations and upgrades • Contribute to a growing green building knowledge base • Earn LEED Certification plaque and certificate

12. Green BuildingCharacteristics • Optimal environmental & economic performance • Increased efficiencies saving energy and resources • Satisfying, productive, quality indoor spaces

13. Economic Benefits of Green Design • Lower Construction Costs • Reduced Operating Costs • More Productive Environment • Higher Valuation of Building • Higher Visibility & Marketability • Reduced Insurance & Risk of Liability

14. LEED EB Pilot National Geographic Society Headquarters, Wash., DC The Society added $24M in value from this LEED certification from a higher appraised value, raising tenant rents, lower operating costs, increased credit rating from Moodys, & lower interest rates on large loans secured to the building.
