LEED Certification is the most common, reliable and valid Green Building Certificate System worldwide. Therefore, it is today the most preferred certification system in the market.

Environmentally friendly buildings are constructed based on principles such as reducing the operating costs, wastes, and the hazardous greenhouse gas emissions as well as increasing the investment values, efficiency in energy and water consumption, and creating a more sustainable and healthier environment. It has been proved scientifically that all of the principles listed above have been accomplished by the buildings which obtained the LEED Certificate.  Therefore, the LEED certificate has been made mandatory by the governments particularly for public buildings in many countries. LEED is a ranking system which was developed for main sustainable design criteria which will be used in the construction of the new buildings and the renovation of the existing buildings.
