Green building design refers to those practices that promote
occupant health and comfort while minimizing negative impact to the environment.
As an added benefit, green design reduces building operating costs, enhances
building marketability, and increases worker productivity.
The LEED™ Green Building Rating System is a voluntary,
consensus-based, market-driven building rating system based on existing proven
technology. It evaluates environmental performance from a whole building
perspective over a building's life cycle, providing a definitive standard for
what constitutes a "green" building. The LEED™ measurement system is
designed for rating new and existing commercial, institutional, and high-rise
residential buildings.
