When it comes to renovation and construction, the traditional methods and materials used in building just can't keep up with 21st century demands for sustainability.
The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Rating System is a new initiative supported and utilized by the U.S. Government to encourage builders to design, construct, and operate buildings in a more environmentally friendly way.
The US Green Building Council has developed a tiered certification process and criteria to certify a building they deem sustainable, including maximizing energy and water efficiency, and minimizing waste.
