The Green Building Council promotes and supplies a global approach to<br />
building sustainability by recognising performance in key areas of human<br />
health and environmental friendliness. The LEED (Leadership in Energy<br />
and Enviromental Design) is the most popular rating method in the world<br />
for assessing the perfomance of a building throughout its entire life<br />
cycle. It divides a building's sustainability features into seven areas that<br />
are structured in terms of mandatory requirements and credits. For each<br />
area it recognises and assesses performance in points by reflecting their<br />
potential impact on the environment. The project reaches different levels<br />
of certification according to the sum of the points from the different areas.<br />
