The 'Green Initiative'
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) Green Building Rating System represents the US Green Building Council’s effort to provide a national standard for what constitutes a “green building.” Through its use as a design guideline and third party certification tool, it aims to improve occupant well-being, environmental performance and economic returns of buildings using established innovative practices, standards and technologies.
Application for LEED™ credits starts with the architects and other building designers. Through the use of carefully calculated floor-plans, environmentally friendly building materials, energy efficient products, and innovative system designs, buildings can obtain a high ranking LEED™ certification. That certification process can produce buildings that are not only great environments to be in, but will save energy and resources everyday that they are in use.
