There has been an overwhelming demand for a benchmark certification program for GREEN construction projects. This construction benchmark is sponsored by the non-profit US Green Building Council and the program is called LEED.

LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The projects that have the LEEDS seal of approval are showing that the project demonstrates energy-efficiency and a lower to operating costs. Furthermore, enhance the occupant health and wellbeing but most importantly increase investment returns as compares to other non-LEED approved building products.

The LEED certification is achieved with an accrued amount of points, out of 69 points total, for GREEN products and certifications are awarded in levels Platinum (52 Pts), Gold (39 Pts) and Silver Levels (33pts) as well as standard LEED certification with 26pts.
