    LEED is a third-party certificate program under the U.S. Green Building
    Council (USGBC). It is a nationally accepted benchmark for the design,
    construction and operation of high-performance sustainable buildings.
    Certificate levels are as follows: Certified, Silver, Gold or Platinum. The levels
    are based on points obtained in six areas: sustainable sites, water efficiency,
    energy and atmosphere, material and resources, indoor environmental
    quality, and innovation in design.
