LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a green building certification program used worldwide. Developed by the non-profit U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), it includes a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of buildings, which aims to help building owners and operators be environmentally responsible and use resources efficiently.
