Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’ performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality.

Toilets Contribute to LEED Points for Homes

LEED for Homes is a voluntary rating system that promotes the design and construction of sustainable homes. A sustainable home uses less energy, water, and natural resources. As a result, it creates less waste. In addition to the environmental benefits, a LEED home will result in lower energy and water bills with life-cycle cost comparable to owning a conventional home.
