LEED Buildings in Kentucky

LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a building project meets the highest green building and performance measures. The LEED certification is nationally recognized for demonstrating that a building is environmentally responsible, profitable and a healthy place to live and work.

There are both environmental and financial benefits to earning LEED certification.  LEED-certified buildings:

  • Lower operating costs and increased asset value.
    Reduce waste sent to landfills.
  • Conserve energy and water.
  • Healthier and safer for occupants.
  • Reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Qualify for tax rebates, zoning allowances and other incentives in hundreds of cities.
  • Demonstrate an owner's commitment to environmental stewardship and social responsibility.
