An Overview Of LEED: Leadership In Energy And Environmental Design
Sunday, February 7th, 2010LEED, an abbreviation for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a non-compulsory program which allows a building to achieve recognition as a “green” structure. To do so, it must manage its resources in a way that is friendly to the environment. The program began in 1998, and since then almost fifteen thousand buildings have been so recognized. Current predictions are that 10 percent or more new construction projects in 2010 will seek to be certified.
