(ASBEC) suggests that the building sector is directly responsible for around 24% of the total energy use. At present this is split fairly evenly between the residential and commercial building sectors. Reducing energy use and reducing greenhouse gas emissions are both worthwhile goals as it saves money and saves the environment. Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has been presented with increasing urgency within recent years as it is driving climate change. There are many opportunities to reduce energy and emissions within the building sector.…
A high-performance green building is defined as (Woods, 2008) "a building designed, constructed and capable of being operated in a manner which increases environmental performance and economic value over time, safeguards the health of occupants, and enhances satisfaction and productivity of workers through integration of environmentally-preferred building materials, and water-efficient and energy-efficient systems." In order to attain a high performance green building, (Kilbert, 2005) a thorough design and execution work by architects, landscape architects,…

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a program that provides a third-party verification of buildings that are trying to become more environmentally friendly. The range covered with LEED varies from commercial buildings and homes, to entire neighborhoods and communities. It is generally recognized that buildings consume a large portion of water, wood, energy, and other resources used to sustain the economy. United States’ buildings alone are responsible for more CO2 emissions than those of any other country in the world except China. LEED projects have been successfully established in 135 countries. International projects make up more than 50% of the total LEED registered square footage. For commercial buildings and neighborhoods to earn LEED certification, a project must satisfy all LEED prerequisites and earn a minimum 40 points on a 110-point LEED rating system scale. Homes must earn a minimum of 45 points on a 136-point scale [1]. An expansive move to green construction offers a potentially promising way to help address a variety of challenges facing the United States. The cost of green design has dropped in the last few years and the number of green buildings has risen. The trend of declining costs associated with increased experience in green building construction has become more wide spread throughout the states. LEED is transforming the way residential and commercial buildings are designed, constructed, and operated for the better. LEED addresses the entire lifecycle of a building in a comprehensive and feasible manor.…
