LEED

Live plants clearly create authentically green interiors. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System^® is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. Members of the U.S. Green Building Council representing all segments of the building industry developed LEED and continue to contribute to its evolution. LEED standards are currently available or under development for

• New commercial construction and major renovation projects (LEED-NC)
• Existing building operations (LEED-EB)
• Commercial interiors projects (LEED-CI)
• Core and shell projects (LEED-CS)
• Homes (LEED-H)
• Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND)

  Live plants optimize nature’s technology. There is now relevant research and compelling findings available on the environmental contributions of plants to the building interior. Studies clearly indicate the quantifiable environmental benefits to interior plant installations within buildings. Visit www.usgbc.org or www.plantsatwork.org
