Regardless of scale, LEED-certified buildings share a common achievement: they are verified as more sustainable and efficient, in a world where we’re all trying to generate less waste. Even more important, they support human health and wellness through benefits like good indoor air quality, natural light and nontoxic materials.

Whether it’s your home, your neighborhood or your whole city, LEED has a pathway to certification that fits. As we build better, healthier buildings, we build better, healthier communities that create a higher living standard—and with the arrival of newest update to LEED, inclusivity and flexibility are built into the rating system as never before.

All over the U.S. and the world, LEED-certified homes—whether for one family or for many families—bring wellness, cost savings and beautiful, sustainable design into the lives of their residents. LEED homes can have a higher resale value, too.

It’s also increasingly recognized by cities and states that affordable housing in our communities can—and should—be green.
