LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a globally recognized certification program that promotes sustainable building practices. It provides a framework for creating healthy, efficient, and cost-saving green buildings. By following LEED guidelines, architects and builders can design structures that reduce energy consumption, improve indoor air quality, and minimize environmental impact. Buildings can earn different levels of LEED certification—Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum—based on their performance in various categories, such as water efficiency, energy use, and materials selection. This certification not only benefits the environment but also enhances the value of properties and improves the quality of life for occupants.
