Green buildings can be part of the solution in the climate crisis.
Buildings account for nearly 40% of all greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), according to Architecture 2030—and high-performing green buildings, particularly LEED-certified buildings, provide the means to reduce the climate impacts of buildings and their inhabitants.
Green building strategies address a structure’s planning, design, construction and operations while considering energy, water, indoor environmental quality, materials selection and location. LEED rewards the implementation of these strategies through credits that support energy- and resource-efficient buildings, and that also protect the health and well-being of those who interact with them.
