LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is USGBC's chief program for accelerating the adoption of sustainable building practices. A voluntary, consensus-based rating system, LEED delivers a sound and certifiable basis for identifying buildings that represent leadership in the use of sustainable building practices and design. LEED aims to recognize the top 25 percent of building practices and reward those that are pushing the bar in the development of innovative and high-performing buildings.
