Sustainable contruction through LEED
 LEED is short for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. It is a voluntary building certification programme established by the U.S. Green Building Council with the purpose of encouraging and accelerating global adaption of sustainable green buildings. The system provides architects, designers and specifiers with a concrete and practical set of design and performance goals, and provides independent third-party certification that validates their achievements.
The LEED system addresses all types of building projects and all phases in the building lifecycle, from design and construction to renovation. Buildings constructed in accordance with LEED requirements use resources more efficiently compared to conventional buildings. Furthermore, LEED helps to create a healthier working and living environment due to the low impact on the environment and indoor climate.
