Introduction

THIS is LEED
BETTER BUILDINGS ARE OUR LEGACY.

WHAT IS LEED?
The LEED plaque on a building is a mark of quality and
achievement in green building.
Leaders across the globe have made LEED the most widely used
green building rating system in the world with 1.85 million square feet
of construction space certifying every day. LEED certification
provides independent verification of a building or neighborhoods
green features, allowing for the design, construction, operations and
maintenance of resource-efficient, high-performing, healthy, costeffective buildings. LEED is the triple bottom line in action, benefiting
people, planet and profit.

?WHY LEED
LEED certification means healthier, more productive places, reduced
stress on the environment by encouraging energy and resource3

efficient buildings, and savings from increased building value, higher

lease rates and decreased utility costs. LEED-certified buildings will
.directly contribute $29.8 billion to U.S. GDP by 2018

:In the U.S., buildings account for

38%
Of all CO2 emissions

13.6%
Of all potable water (15 trillion gal. / year)

73%
Of U.S. electricity consumption
LEED projects are responsible for diverting over 80 million
tons of waste from landfills. Compared to the average
commercial building, LEED Gold buildings in the General
Services Administrations portfolio consume a quarter less
energy and generate 34% lower greenhouse gas
.emissions

Every story about a LEED building is a

.story about people
OTHER LEED OFFERINGS
LEED Volume Certification
Designed for LEED users looking to certify an entire portfolio of
projects, LEED volume certification streamlines the certification
.process and fee structure while preserving the rigor of LEED
:Here's a sample of companies using LEED volume certification
STARBUCKS | MARRIOTT
WELLS FARGO | KOHLS

LEED Campus Certification

LEED campus certification streamlines the certification process for
LEED users who are certifying more than one project located on a
.single shared site like a corporate or education campus

THIS IS LEED
LEED is pushing the green building industry to go further. Developed
in a transparent, consensus-based process that includes several
rounds of public comments and approval from USGBC members,
LEED ensures that leaders can demand more from our buildings,
creating healthy experiences, conserving precious resources and
.benefitting the business bottom line

How It Works:
LEED projects earn points across nine basic areas that address key
aspects of green buildings.
5

1. Integrative process
2. Location and transportation
3. Sustainable sites
4. Water efficiency
5. Energy and atmosphere
6. Materials and resources
7. Indoor environmental quality
8. Innovation
9. Regional priority

Design of leed standards

1.

Sustainable site development involves, whenever possible,

the reuse of existing buildings and the preservation of the
surrounding environment. The incorporation of earth
shelters,roofgardens, and extensive planting throughout and
around buildings is encouraged.
2.
Water is conserved by a variety of means including the
cleaning and recycling of gray (previously used) water and the
installation of building-by-building catchments for rainwater. Water
usage and supplies are monitored.
3.
Energy efficiency can be increased in a variety of ways, for
example, by orienting buildings to take full advantage of seasonal
changes in the suns position and by the use of diversified and
regionally appropriate energy sources, which maydepending on
geographic locationinclude solar, wind, geothermal, biomass,
water, or natural gas.
4.
The most desirable materials are those that are recycled or
renewable and those that require the least energy to manufacture.
They ideally are locally sourced and free from harmful chemicals.
They are made of nonpolluting raw ingredients and are durable
and recyclable.
6

5.

Indoor environmental quality addresses the issues that

influence how the individual feels in a space and involves such
features as the sense of control over personal space, ventilation,
temperature control, and the use of materials that do not emit toxic
gases.

Based on the number of points achieved, a project earns

:one of four LEED rating levels

The LEED rating systems:

LEED works for all buildings at all phases of development, from new
construction to existing buildings, as well as all building sectors, from
homes to hospitals to corporate headquarters.
1. LEED for Building Design+Construction
2. LEED for Interior Design+Construction
3. LEED for Building Operations+Maintenance

4. LEED for Neighborhood Development

LEED for Building Design + Construction

.A FRESH START TO SUSTAINABILITY
WHAT IT IS
When designing and constructing a new building, project teams have
a choice: to join the movement of global leaders producing innovative
buildings from the ground upor to maintain the status quo. Were in
favor of the former. LEED for Building Design and Construction
(LEED BD+C) provides a framework for building a holistic green
building, giving you the chance to create a healthy, resource-efficient,
8

cost-effective building; one that enhances the lives and experiences

.of everyone who walks through its doors

Looking to establish your skills in green design and

construction? The LEED AP BD+C professional credential suits
professionals with expertise in the design and construction phases of
green buildings serving the commercial, residential, education and
healthcare sectors

WHO ITS FOR

While you may apply the LEED BD+C rating system to any
number of project types, from commercial high-rises to
data centers, weve provided an array of common market
sectors to give you a tailored experience that recognizes
.your projects specialized requirements

LEED for Building Operations + Maintenance

?WHO SAYS AN EXISTING BUILDING CANT LEARN NEW TRICKS

WHAT IT IS

11

Meet the LEED solution for existing buildings everywhere. Existing

buildings hold incredible promise. Many older buildings around the
world are inefficient and resource-depleting. With some keen
attention to building operations, that can be turned around drastically
by using LEED for Building Operations and Maintenance (LEED
O+M). Consider that it can take up to 80 years to make up for the
environmental impacts of demolishing an existing building and
constructing a new one, even if the resulting building is extremely
energy efficient. You may have heard the phrase, The greenest
building is the one already built. We believe it, and LEED can help
.you achieve it

The LEED AP O+M professional credential denotes mastery

and expertise of the LEED O+M rating system. If youre a professional
implementing sustainable practices, improving performance,
heightening efficiency and reducing environmental impact in existing
.buildings, consider earning this credential

WHO ITS FOR

While you may apply the LEED O+M rating system to any number of
project types, from commercial high-rises to data centers, weve
provided an array of common market sectors to give you a tailored
.experience that recognizes your projects specialized requirements
RETAIL

.Existing retail spaces, both showrooms and storage areas

SCHOOLS

12

For existing buildings made up of core and ancillary learning spaces

on K-12 school grounds. Can also be used for higher education and
.non-academic buildings on school campuses
HOSPITALITY

industry that provide transitional or short-term lodging with or without
.food

DATA CENTERS

Existing buildings specifically designed and equipped to meet the

needs of high density computing eqiupment, such as server racks,
.used for data storage and processing
WAREHOUSES & DISTRIBUTION CENTERS

Existing buildings used to store goods, manufactured products,

merchandise, raw materials or personal belongings (such as self.storage)
EXISTING BUILDINGS

For all other existing building projects: specifically, projects that do

not primarily serve K-12 educational, retail, data centers, warehouses
.and distribution centers or hospitality uses

LEED for Interior Design + Construction

.ITS WHATS INSIDE THAT COUNTS
13

WHAT IT IS
As humans, we spend 90% of our time indoors. That time should be
spent in spaces that allow us to breathe easy, give us views of nature
and daylight, and make us healthier and more productive. LEED for
Interior Design and Construction (LEED ID+C) enables project teams
who may not have control over whole building operations to develop
.indoor spaces that are better for the planet and for people

Are you a green interior design and

construction professional? Make it official by earning the
LEED AP ID+C professional credential. It serves
participants in the design, construction and
improvement of commercial interiors and tenant spaces
that offer a healthy, sustainable and productive work
.environment

WHO ITS FOR

While you may apply the LEED ID+C rating system to any number of
project types, from commercial offices to standalone stores, weve
.provided pathways that recognize key market sectors

SECTORS
RETAIL

Guides interior spaces used to conduct the retail sale of consumer

product goods. Includes both direct customer service areas
(showroom) and preparation or storage areas that support customer
.service
HOSPITALITY
14

For existing buildings made up of core and ancillary learning spaces

on K-12 school grounds. Can also be used for higher education and
.non-academic buildings on school campuses
COMMERCIAL INTERIORS

For all other interior spaces dedicated to functions other than retail or
.hospitality

LEED for Homes

.HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

WHAT IT IS
A home is more than just shelter: homes are the most important
buildings in our lives. We think thatevery building should be a green
buildingbut especially homes. Why? LEED homes are built to be
healthy, providing clean indoor air and incorporating safe building
materials to ensure a comfortable home. Using less energy and water
means lower utility bills each month. And in many markets, certified
green homes are now selling quicker and for more money than
.comparable non-green homes
Some of the most important buildings in the world use LEED.
Shouldnt the most important building in everyones world use LEED,
?too

15

Are you a green professional looking to

differentiate yourself within the residential marketplace?
The LEED AP Homes professional credential helps
showcase your knowledge of sustainable design and
.construction for residential building

WHO ITS FOR

LEED for Homes is available for building design and construction
projects for single family homes and multifamily projects up to eight
.stories
LEED BUILDING DESIGN + CONSTRUCTION: HOMES & MULTIFAMILY LOWRISE

Designed for single family homes and multifamily buildings between

.one and three stories
LEED BUILDING DESIGN + CONSTRUCTION: MULTIFAMILY MIDRISE

Designed for midrise multifamily buildings between four and eight

.stories

times
The EPA estimates that indoor air is between two and ten
times more polluted than outdoor air. LEED-certified
homes are designed to maximize fresh air indoors and
.minimize exposure to airborne toxins and pollutants

LEED for Neighborhood Development

ITS A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

WHAT IT IS
Is your local grocery store within walking distanceand is there a
sidewalk for you to trek there safely? Does your neighborhood boast
high-performing green buildings, parks and green space? Do bikes,
pedestrians and vehicles play nicely together on the road? LEED for
Neighborhood Development (LEED ND) was engineered to inspire
and help create better, more sustainable, well-connected
neighborhoods. It looks beyond the scale of buildings to consider
.entire communities

The LEED AP ND professional credential differentiates you

as an expert in the field: it applies to individuals participating in the
planning, design and development of sustainable, pedestrian-friendly
neighborhoods, and denotes practical knowledge in the LEED for
.Neighborhood Development rating system

WHO ITS FOR

While you may apply the LEED ND rating system to projects at any
stage of the development process, from planning through
construction, we've provided two certification options that reflect
.important project milestones
PLAN CERTIFICATION
17

Certification is available to your neighborhood-scale project if it's

currently in any phase of planning and design. Plan certification helps
you or your developers market and fund your project among
prospective tenants, financiers, public officials, etc. by affirming your
.intended sustainability strategies
BUILT PROJECT CERTIFICATION

Designed for neighborhood-scale projects that are near completion,

.or were completed within the last three years
