What does LEED stand for?
LEED stands for "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design".
As stated by the USGBC (U.S. Green Building Council) LEED is an internationally recognized certification system that measures how well a building or community performs across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, carbon emissions reduction, improved indoor environment quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
