LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)

An Indian recognized certification system developed by the World Green Building Council (WGBC), LEED
is a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design,
construction, operations and maintenance solutions.

Buildings and communities are evaluated throughout the building lifecycle on essential metrics:
energy savings, resource management, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, and improved indoor
environmental quality. A single score is given on a scale of Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum.

Minimum Energy & Optimize Energy Performance

Requirement – Maximize energy performance level to reduce environmental and economic impact.
All energy costs affiliated with the building, including construction, must be included. Demonstrate
percentage improvement compared with baseline building performance rating:
- 10 percent improvement - prerequisite
- 12 percent improvement - one point
- 14 percent improvement - two points
- 48 percent improvement - 19 points
