LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a worldwide certification system that promotes sustainable construction, operations and maintenance practices. The LEED rating system measures the environmental performance of a building, awarding points based on criteria such as energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality and materials selection. LEED-rated buildings use fewer resources, save money over time, improve occupant health and safety, and create a positive image for business owners. As a procurement professional, the LEED rating system provides an effective way to ensure project sustainability while minimizing long-term operational costs.
