LEED Credits

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the most widely used method of measuring greenness in the constructions industry. If a building meets enough of the criteria on the LEED checklist - from categories such as Sustainable Sites, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, and Innovation and Design Process - it is awarded a LEED certified status. There are four status levels for certification that a building can earn. (see chart)

In addition to being good for the environment, green buildings help lower operating costs, increase the building's value and resale opportunities, and may be eligible for possible tax incentives and construction grant money. TerraStrong construction services and solutions can help you take advantage of LEED opportunities.
