About President’s Message Our commitment Green Initiatives

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System® encourages and accelerates global adoption of sustainable green building and development practices through the creation and implementation of universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria.

LEED is a third-party certification program and an internationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. It provides building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’ performance.

LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health:

sustainable site development
water efficiency
energy efficiency
materials selection
indoor environmental quality

Credits and Prerequisites are organized into these five categories. An additional category, focusing on innovation, addresses sustainable building expertise, exemplary performance, and design (or operational) measures not covered under these five environmental categories.
