What Are LEED Points?
Developed by the US Green Building Council, The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating System for New Construction and Major Renovation (LEED-NC) is the most widely used building sustainability rating system in the US. LEED Points are the units of measurement by which a building receives its LEED rating.
LEED enables project teams to deliver certified performance for their buildings. Third-party certification through the independent Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI.org) assures that LEED buildings are constructed and operated as intended. GBCI includes a network of ISO-compliant international certifying bodies, ensuring the consistency, capacity and integrity of the LEED certification process.
