Overview
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification is a widely recognized standard for green building design, construction, operation, and maintenance. LEED is a globally recognized rating system developed by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) that focuses on promoting sustainable and energy-efficient building practices. LEED-certified buildings are designed to minimize environmental impact, conserve resources, and provide healthier spaces for occupants.
The University of Pennsylvania has been committed to sustainable and environmentally conscious construction and design practices and has incorporated LEED principles into several of its building projects to promote sustainable practices on campus. Every new building and major renovation project currently under design is registered with the U.S. Green Building Council and is targeting Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification.
