LEED
The website of the
US Green Building Council
states that "The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating Systemtm 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."
Recognizing the importance of sustainable design to the future of our industry and our country, the Adena Corporation has a LEED Accredited Professional on staff to help owners and designers meet the requirements of certifying a project to LEED standards. Why choose to design a building using the LEED standards? Because LEED-certified buildings have reduced operating costs, provide a healthier and more productive environment for its occupants, and conserve our natural resources? Contact us if you have any questions regarding LEED requirements.
