Non-LEED™ accredited contractors often underestimate a building’s environmental impact and overstate the costs of a green building. Unless you are dealing with a LEED™ accredited contractor, you may not be getting the correct information. LEED™ accreditation provides a concise environment for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions. It also rewards general contractors, real estate developers and businesses for actively working to reduce their impact on the environment and implementing green strategies in the workplace.
