U.S. Green Building Council<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)<\/a> is committed to transforming how buildings are designed, constructed, and operated through LEED, the most widely used green building system with more than 100,000 buildings participating today. Their mission is to transform how buildings and communities are designed, built, and operated to become more economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable in order to improve overall quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally constructed buildings consume energy and resources at an unsustainable rate, but we have access to the technology, resources, and innovations to do better. LEED provides a framework for healthy, efficient, carbon and cost-saving green buildings. LEED certification is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement, and it is backed by an entire industry of committed organizations and individuals. Improving energy efficiency and decreasing energy use in buildings and infrastructure are important for addressing climate change, as well as enhancing both economic and environmental resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n
