What is LEED
Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.
Andy explains the purpose of LEED Certification, here are a few:

Currently Andy is using smoking policy's as an example of LEED Certification. Policies regarding smoking policy, Placing sinage and even down to notifying security as how to handle violators.
In our industry, LEED Certification applies when using a least toxic approach to pest control.
