LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the most widely used green building rating system in the world. Available for virtually all building types, LEED provides a framework for healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green buildings. LEED certification is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement and leadership.

Millions of people are living, working and learning in LEED-certified buildings around the world. Here's why.

Economic benefits: Save money with LEED

Gain a competitive edge

61% of corporate leaders believe that sustainability leads to market differentiation and improved financial performance.

Attract tenants

LEED-certified buildings command the highest rents, while lease-up rates typically range from average to 20% above average; vacancy rates for green buildings are an estimated 4% lower than non-green properties.

Manage performance

LEED is the world leading green building project and performance management system. It delivers a comprehensive framework for green building design, construction, operations and performance

LEED Safety First pilot credits

As part of its Healthy Economy strategy, USGBC has six LEED pilot credits to help building teams provide healthy spaces, and to assist with re-entry. The pilot credits outline sustainable best practices that align with public health and industry guidelines related to cleaning and disinfecting, workplace re-occupancy, HVAC and plumbing operations. The credits can be used by LEED projects that are certified or are undergoing certification.
Meet ESG goals

LEED helps investors meet their ESG goals by providing investors with the robust and globally recognized green building framework to measure and manage their real estate performance. LEED helps investors implement management practices to prioritize building efficiency, decrease operational costs, increase asset value and ensure productivity, comfort, health and wellbeing for occupants.

Fewer cars, fewer miles driven

Nearly 4 billion vehicle miles traveled have been avoided by occupants of LEED buildings, thanks to efficient locations and alternative transportation options.

Green materials
Certified projects are estimated to have specified more than $100 billion in green materials, cumulatively.
Implement sustainable strategies

LEED can help both new and existing buildings to implement sustainable and greener strategies to become high performing buildings.

Why certify?

We stand for accountability, and we translate that accountability through the LEED third-party certification process. Behind LEED is an infrastructure developed by industry leaders that supports project teams as they innovate and create high performing buildings, homes and neighborhoods. USGBC invests more than $30 million annually to maintain, operate and improve LEED and its customer delivery.

The LEED plaque stands for leadership, and demonstrates that a building has been designed, built and is operating as intended. Being "built to LEED” or “LEED equivalency” doesn’t exist—there is no substitute for LEED certification.

Features of the built environment that impact human health and well-being are air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind. LEED and WELL are ushering in standards that measure attributes of buildings that impact occupant health by looking at seven factors, or Concepts.
