"Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)", also known as LEED Green Building Rating System, the system is a building certification system based on energy efficiency, sustainability and environmental performance standards. LEED is a certification system created by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) that allows green buildings to be rated.
LEED is the most preferred eco-friendly building certification worldwide and especially in Türkiye, promoting environmentally friendly practices in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of buildings. This certification aims to create a healthy, efficient and sustainable environment while minimizing the environmental impact of a building.
LEED certification is a leading certification system for green building and energy efficiency, equipped with different evaluation systems and suitable for all building types. It promotes sustainable practices in the design, construction and operation of buildings.
In order for a building to receive a LEED Certificate, the building is awarded one of the following four certification levels as a result of scoring by a LEED AP (Accredited Professional):
- LEED Certified: This is the basic certification and is awarded to buildings that meet a certain range of points.
- LEED Silver: Awarded to buildings with a higher environmental performance.
- LEED Gold: Awarded to buildings with very high environmental performance.
- LEED Platinum: Awarded to buildings with the highest environmental performance.
Each level assesses the sustainability level of buildings based on factors such as environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, water saving, material selection, indoor quality and innovation.
