What is LEED? What does it mean to be LEED certified?Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a measuring system created by the US Green Building Council (USGBC) that rates buildings based on their eco-friendliness. In accordance with LEED, architects, owners and developers can monitor and optimize development, energy efficiency, water consumption, materials usage, indoor air quality and other key elements in their buildings that contribute to sustainability.So what does LEED certification mean for you? Simply put, it proves to the public that your building does its part to keep the Earth clean and its occupants safe and healthy. LEED has 7 different rating systems based on the type of project, so choose the one that applies to you. How can you get LEED certified? It all depends on your project’s rating system, but buying green office supplies, school furniture, and other products can certainly help. Think about it - the lower the emissions and waste from the products and furniture you put inside your building, the cleaner the building becomes. It’s that simple.
