LEED™ stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is a green building rating system was originally developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to provide a recognized standard for the construction industry to assess the environmental sustainability of building designs. Canadian Green Building Council (CaGBC) has since adapted the USGBC LEED™ rating system to the specific concerns and requirements of buildings in Canada. LEED™ is a point-based rating system; points are earned for building attributes considered environmentally beneficial.
