EP Henry and LEED 

Bringing Beauty and Function to Sustainable Design

LEED^® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), and is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO₂ emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
