Description: LEED the way to green building design with concrete. This bulletin describes how concrete contributes to obtain the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building certification. It details what the requirements are, the number of points needed for the various levels of certification, how to earn the points, and how the use of concrete can increase the number of points awarded to a building under the LEED. From pervious concrete to optimal energy performance and thermal mass, designing for LEED certification has been influencing design criteria for concrete building design throughout the U.S. and overseas.
