technology meets green
LEEDTM is a program developed by
the United States Green Building
Council (USGBC). This program is
the most widely accepted system in
the United States to assist architects,
engineers, contractors, and building
owners and operators in creating
green or sustainable buildings.
LEED is a voluntary program that
brings the building industry beyond
the minimum requirements of building
and life safety codes. Ultimately,
LEED buildings are better buildings
in terms of energy and resource use,
and healthier environments for building
occupants. The LEED rating
system has become the definitive
standard for what constitutes a Green
Building. STEP 1 is a LEED Silver certified
design.
