In a nutshell, LEED certification works like this:
Projects apply for LEED certification under a particular rating system (LEED for Building Design & Construction, LEED for Interior Design & Construction, LEED for Building Operations & Maintenance, Homes, etc.). Projects achieve points by satisfying various requirements, which are geared toward different methods of green building practice. If a project earns enough points, it gets a ranking (certified, silver, gold or platinum) and is then dubbed a “LEED certified” project.
