A commonly asked question today is,"What is LEED" or "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design"?

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) was created by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to address the issues of providing and managing sustainable development, through the use of environmentally friendly building construction techniques and materials. This concept recognized the need to conserve the earth's natural, physical, chemical and biological systems and environment.

LEED Accredited Professionals,  are working with the building industry to utilize the LEED program as a way to help identify green building strategies. Utilizing the LEED program can help all of us achieve evironmentally friendly, highly energy efficient, cost-effective projects by integrating building design with day-lighting, electric lighting controls and energy efficient mechanical systems.

In other words, being familiar with the local building department's additional requirements, will save everyone involved countless hours, and will expedite the process.
