Using scientific standards, the LEED criteria emphasizes the most current technologies for sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. For a building owner, a LEED building is more efficient, easier to maintain, has more value in the marketplace and is a recognized example of environmental excellence. There is current legislation in Connecticut that has passed the senate and has been sent to the house that looks to "require certain state-financed construction projects to meet or exceed the silver building rating of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design's rating system for new commercial construction and major renovation projects." |
