The U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a voluntary certification program that can be applied to any building type and any building lifecycle phase. It promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in key areas:
Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, Innovation in Design, and Regional Priority.

LEED points are awarded on a 100-point scale, and credits are weighted to reflect their potential environmental impacts. Additionally, 10 bonus credits are available, four of which address regionally specific environmental issues. A project must satisfy all prerequisites and earn a minimum number of points to be certified.
The new LEED v3 – 2009 consolidated most of LEED’s existing nine separate rating systems into only three: Green Building Design and Construction, Green Interior Design and Construction, and Green Building Operation and Maintenance. LEED for New Construction is a major part of the Green Building Design and construction and is shown as an example below:
