LEED - Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. This is the certification program from the USGBC - US Green Building Council. All GSA buildings (courthouses etc.) must be LEED certified. New provisions in the up and coming building codes will require some degree of green design. LEED is huge in commercial construction. The main principle behind LEED is to design a sustainable property. It's too complex to list all the attributes of the program but it's basically a way of making a building and the surrounding property have less negative impact on the environment/community while maximizing the utility and life span of the project.
