What is LEED Certification?
LEED certification is a recognition that a construction project or building can attain by utilizing environmentally friendly building practices such as such as energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor and environmental quality, stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts during construction or remodeling. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED is intended to provide building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.
A 2003 analysis of the savings from green building found from a review of 60 LEED buildings that the buildings were on average 25-30% more energy efficient and had reduced , but it also attributed substantial benefits to the increased productivity from the better ventilation, temperature control, lighting control, and reduced indoor air pollution.
To promote this Government of India, offers many incentives within the building industry, including grant funding and tax breaks based on the level of LEED certification achieved. LEED certification can be attained on four different levels, which are determined by a credit, or point, system. The levels of LEED certification are Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum
