The architectural and design industry is witnessing a resurgence following one of its largest contractions in history. Architects are once again opening up new doors for design concepts and incorporating innovative building designs to achieve a variety of objectives in both efficiency and function. One of the major milestones for new building designs is achieving LEED status.
You likely have heard the acronym “LEED” in reference to building design. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is an accreditation that buildings can achieve based on how “green” their construction and utilities are. Essentially LEED is a measurement of a building design’s efficiency and the sustainability of its systems. To achieve LEED status, designers have to take into consideration the impact of their design on the surrounding landscape, the sustainability of the materials used to construct the building, and the utilities systems utilized once construction is complete. By effectively combining green solutions in all of these areas, a building can be identified as LEED certified.
