The LEED Green Building Rating System is the national benchmark for high-performance green buildings. Developed by USGBC members and green building experts from every sector of the community, LEED gives you the detailed roadmap, tools, and support you need to create buildings that perform. And because Leed provides independent, third party certification, it validates to the world that your project is green.

Why Build Green?

On average, green buildings save:
40% in water use
30% in energy use and greenhouse gas emmisions
50-75% of construction and demolition waste going to landfills
$50 billion of sick time from work annually
Green buildings add $180 billion in increased worker productivity annually

So why wouldn't you build green?

Buildings consume:
