"LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a building project meets the highest green building and performance measures. All certified projects receive a LEED plaque, which is a recognized symbol demonstrating that a building is environmentally responsible and a healthy place to live and work.

There are both environmental and financial benefits to earning LEED certification."
