LEED® For Homes
The United States Green Building Council developed the LEED® Green Building Rating System in 1998. Today it's the nationally accepted benchmark for high-performance green building. Builders who attain LEED® certification may also qualify for government incentives.
LEED® for Homes is a voluntary rating system that promotes the design and construction of high-performance green homes, including affordable housing, mass-production homes, custom designs, stand-alone single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses, suburban and urban apartments, and condominiums and lofts in historic buildings.
