Green buildings will often have LEED certification. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The LEED rating system was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to encourage the development of sustainable buildings and neighborhoods. There are four certification levels: Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Some examples of categories included in the scoring criteria are site sustainability, water and energy efficiency, use of materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality.
