What kind of certification does a building need to be considered green?
A rating system, known as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), is a voluntary system for defining what elements make a LEED green building. Originally developed in United Sates by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), many industries have already embraced it.“The LEED process guides designers and builders to make technically superior decisions in a manner that is environmentally responsible. By embracing this process, they are showing commitment to their clients, their profession and the world community at large. It allows them to provide the best design solution for both the owner and the environment,” says Vipul Acharya, Durisol Building Systems Inc., a leader in ICF green building materials.
