Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a widely recognized green building certification program. It provides a framework for assessing the environmental performance of buildings and encourages sustainable practices in design, construction, and operation. LEED certification is awarded based on points earned in various categories, including energy efficiency, water usage, and materials selection. The program is managed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and aims to promote healthier, more sustainable environments. LEED-certified buildings are designed to reduce their carbon footprint, conserve resources, and enhance the well-being of occupants, making them a preferred choice for environmentally conscious developers and organizations.
