LEED

LEED for New Construction and Major Renovation requires a minimum 10% compliance beyond ASHRAE 90.1-2007. Developed by the United States Green Building Council, LEED is a green building certification system, providing third-party verification addressing: energy savings, water efficiency, CO₂ emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts. There is a suite of LEED programs focused on various building types, or stages of occupancy. Many federal agencies, states and local jurisdictions have mandated or encouraged LEED certification for municipal buildings. Local jurisdictions, such as Rohnert Park, CA (mandatory) and Charlotte County, Fl (voluntary) have adopted LEED as their standard.
