What is LEED?
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. It is a voluntary building rating system that evaluates buildings in five areas:sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials and resources selection, and indoor environmental quality. US Green Building Council (USGBC) certifies the buildings using the LEED rating system with the hope that it will increase sustainable practices from concept to construction. In order to do this in a standardized manner, individuals can become LEED Accredited Professionals (LEED AP). This shows a level of understanding green building techniques, the LEED system, and the approval process. John Pacyga with Verdant Design, LLC is a LEED Accredited Professional.
