What is LEED

Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) is a world wide recognized green building certification system, providing verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies intended to improve performance in various areas such as water efficiency, energy savings, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED is intended to provide building owners and operators a specific guideline for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.

    My company is in Massachusetts and builds custom furniture from reclaimed antique wood from early New England homesteads and factories. What do we need to do to be LEED Certified?

      Hi Christine,

      You will need to become familiar with LEED green building standards and principles. The easiest and most effective way to do this is to take a LEED Green Associate exam prep course. Call us at 1-800-460-2575 and we will talk you through the process.
