LEED® ServicesLeadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ Improve your property portfolio with high performance practices.One program designed to promote environmental responsibility through better resource management is the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. This rating system has been developed by U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and is maintained by active memberships, committees, and individual participants. LEED was created to help encourage and promote awareness of green building practices and activities, and it is the nationally accepted benchmark for creating, constructing and operating high performance green buildings.
