What is LEED?
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System,
developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), provides a suite of standards for
environmentally sustainable construction. Since its inception in 1998, LEED has grown to
encompass more than 14,000 projects in the United States and 30 countries covering 1.062
billion square feet (99 km^2) of development area.The hallmark of LEED is that it is an
open and transparent process where the technical criteria proposed by the LEED committees
are publicly reviewed for approval by the more than 10,000 membership organizations that
currently constitute the USGBC.
