LEED Gold​
​
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, and it is a certification program developed by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) that recognizes buildings designed and constructed with a focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility.
​
LEED Gold is one of the four levels of certification that a building can achieve under the LEED program, with the other levels being Certified, Silver, and Platinum. To achieve LEED Gold certification, a building must meet certain criteria related to sustainability, including but not limited to energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality, and use of environmentally friendly materials and construction practices.
​
LEED Gold certification requires a higher level of sustainability performance than LEED Certified or Silver, but not as high as LEED Platinum. It is a significant achievement for any building to be awarded LEED Gold certification, and it demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
