LEED Certification is discussed throughout this site. LEED Certification is the process of developing or converting a structure (commercial building, homes, schools, universities, etc) into a sustainable, energy efficient structure when compared to the norm. LEED Certified buildings save energy, use less water, have better indoor air quality, recycle and much more when compared to a similar structure. Please review the LEED section of this site to learn more.
